Investing in Technology in the Middle East - Dubai, 2018
The Middle East continues to attract an increasing amount of foreign direct investment across a range of sectors, none more so than the technology sector with investment into medium and high tech projects accounting for over 60% of the total foreign direct investment into Dubai in 2017. The Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has made clear his intention for Dubai to become a leading technology hub and is keen for Dubai to lead the field worldwide in attracting investments into innovative technologies like Artificial Intelligence and robotics.
