Webinar Recap: Doing Business in Dubai | Nexdigm & Interpolitan Money

Behind the skyscrapers, luxury resorts and seven-star experiences, the UAE is one of the world’s greatest modern success stories. With the country's rich and illustrious geopolitical history laying the foundations, it was the discovery of oil in 1960 that kick-started an economic revolution – powered by some very shrewd long-term strategic planning – which has seen the UAE stake a claim as the planet’s financial powerhouses.

With the announcement of new cultural, financial and environmental initiatives from We are UAE 2031 to the first inhabitable settlement on Mars in 2127, there’s never been a better time for business owners, investors and entrepreneurs to hedge their financial future in the Emirates.

Our latest webinar, hosted in partnership with Nexdigm, Associate Director Vikash Thakur and Interpolitan Money’s Assistant Vice President, Divya Mayani, joined forces to cut through the noise and offer practical insights for doing business in the UAE.

Key themes covered included:

• Business & economic landscape: Why the UAE continues to top global rankings for FDI and economic diversification.
  

• Market entry strategies: How to choose the right Emirate, navigate free zones vs. mainland structures, understand legal formation and funding requirements, and explore residency visa pathways.
  

• Free zone & CEPA opportunities: Insights into new market access created through CEPA agreements with India, Israel, Indonesia, Türkiye, Cambodia, Georgia, Costa Rica, and Mauritius.
  

• Regulatory essentials: Core updates on corporate tax, VAT, compliance, and impact assessments for new and existing entities.
  

• FDI deep dive: Which industries receive automatic approval, where restrictions apply, and how Vision 2031 aims to double GDP, boost non-oil exports and cement the UAE as a global FDI leader.
  

• Alternative banking solutions: How Interpolitan Money supports global firms with seamless cross-border payments, multi-currency capabilities and banking alternatives tailored to the UAE market.

Together, these insights offered a clear roadmap for anyone looking to establish, expand or streamline operations in one of the world’s most forward-thinking business hubs.
