Dubai Science Park contributes significantly to Dubai's Vision 2021 by enabling a sustainable and self-sufficient future by maximising indigenous resources and empowering local talent.
The Dubai Science Park (DSP) is a free zone dedicated to the development of the UAE's science sector. It was previously known as the Energy and Environment Park. DSP was founded to support the vibrant community of entrepreneurs, start-ups, SMEs, and multinational corporations that contribute to the global advancement of science. The Dubai Science Park is the UAE's first strategically planned science community.
Dubai Science Park is a free zone established by the Dubai Development Authority (DDA) in 2005 to support scientific innovation by providing an enabling environment for growth and development in pharma, health and wellness, as well as life, human, plant, material, environmental, and energy sciences.
Dubai Science Park is the region's first free zone community that serves the entire value chain of science by fostering an environment that supports research, creativity, innovation, and passion, while also ensuring a supportive ecosystem for businesses to establish long-term and positive change. Dubai Science Park is a hub for over 350 small and medium-sized businesses, as well as multinational corporations employing over 3600 people.
There are two types of business entities that can be established in Dubai Science Park.
FZ-LLC is a legal entity with limited liability and independent shareholders. The minimum capital required for company formation varies depending on the type of business.
The branch company is a legal entity of the local or foreign parent company that conducts business on its parent company's behalf. The parent company is responsible for all of the branches' activities. There is, however, no minimum capital requirement to open a branch office in Dubai Science Park.
