Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) was established by Law No. 16 of 2005 to serve the region’s need for an expanded technology‑focused business landscape. Spanning 7 km², the free zone and integrated community provides a foundation for startups, SMEs, and multinational corporations to establish themselves in a purpose‑built environment.
DSO emphasises innovation, sustainability, and a community‑oriented approach. It spans 7 square kilometers and houses several businesses and projects, including Talabat’s community delivery robots, the community’s first medical delivery drone from Fakeeh University Hospital, and Emirates’ first EV charging stations. The community also features the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed Space Centre. It’s the space centre that first sent the Emirates Lunar and Mars mission.
As a qualified free zone under the UAE Corporate Tax Law, DSO offers companies operating within its boundaries a 0 % corporate tax rate on qualifying income. It is also aligned with the city’s 2040 Urban Master Plan, placing it centrally in Dubai’s future growth strategy for economic diversification, sustainability, and quality of life.
