Dubai Startup Hub, an initiative of Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in cooperation with Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus (Dtec), the largest tech co-working space in the Middle East wholly owned by Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA), have released the Dubai Startup Report 2021, an informative guide on Dubai’s startup ecosystem for international startups and investors that are keen on exploring business opportunities in the emirate.

On Saturday, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, detailed a new, formal process through which the country's foreign residents can obtain Emirati citizenship. The announcement means that the world's most talented people have the chance of a permanent home in the UAE, and an opportunity to integrate fully into the national identity.

"Soon, expatriates who call the UAE home will be able to obtain Emirati citizenship, granting them passport rights and the ability to live here indefinitely," noted a UAE newspaper.

The United Arab Emirates has approved amendments to the Executive Regulation of the Federal Law concerning Nationality and Passports allowing investors, professionals, special talents and their families to acquire the Emirati nationality and passport under certain conditions.
