Dubai Number of Deals and Funding Value 2017-2021 (in US$ Millions)

Despite many private and government-backed investors newly setting up shop in neighboring markets with serious capital to spend on the development of their own digital economy ecosystems, Dubai remains the first choice for international entrepreneurs, investors and techies to settle down in.

The deal flow speaks for itself; more than half (58%) of all Arab world funding (MENA ex. Israel) happens in this city. Furthermore, 96% of all start-up funding that came into the country over the past 5 years (2017 to 2022 H1) went to tech start-ups headquartered in Dubai. Based only on publicly disclosed figures, this amounted to over US $5.2 billion entering the Dubai digital ecosystem since 2017.
