Dubai has solidified its position as a pivotal hub for American investments, supporting approximately 184,000 jobs in the United States, according to UAE government estimates. This significant figure underscores Dubai’s growing role as a gateway for US businesses expanding into the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and beyond. The findings were highlighted during the Dubai Business Forum – USA in New York, which attracted around 700 attendees and showcased the deepening economic ties between Dubai and the US. A report by Dubai Chambers further revealed that trade between the two regions has surged, with Dubai’s exports to the US increasing by 76% from $5.2 billion in 2018 to $9.3 billion in 2024, while imports grew by 34% to $22.3 billion. Over the past decade, the US has become Dubai’s top source of foreign direct investment (FDI), with $21.7 billion channeled into 1,474 projects across sectors such as tourism, IT, business services, and communications. Dubai’s strategic advantages, including its world-class logistics, connectivity, and business-friendly policies, have made it an attractive destination for American companies. Additionally, Dubai’s leadership in digital transformation and blockchain regulation has drawn significant interest from US tech firms and entrepreneurs, further cementing its status as a global innovation hub.
