Our strategy is based on an integrated platform that combines commodities, finance, and technology in a qualitative intersection that reshapes the way global trade is practiced. As our technology sector leads and becomes the largest within the center, and we expand into new sectors including emerging technologies, luxury goods, advanced finance, and private wealth, our focus remains on integration and ensuring a dynamic interconnection between commodities, capital, and innovation. This enables our registered companies to achieve faster growth, operate with higher efficiency, and access rewarding opportunities. As we move into 2026, our focus is on enriching and expanding our ecosystems, continuing to develop our trade zones, and cementing Dubai's position as a leading global hub for trade and finance. "The strength of our business model," said Ferial Ahmad, Deputy CEO and Chief Operating Officer at the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC): "Our performance during 2025 reflects the strength of the business model adopted by DMCC, a model designed to achieve a tangible commercial impact across all levels of our region. This progress was driven by the launch of new sector-specific platforms, including FinX and the Wealth Centre, as well as meaningful initiatives such as the Intellectual Property Support Framework we launched to help companies protect their innovations and commercialize them in an economy that is increasingly knowledge-dependent. Dubai's flexibility and long-term economic vision continue to enhance its appeal as a global destination for international business."
