Dubai: DIFC Investments, the investment arm of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), on Saturday said it has launched DIFC Global, a new subsidiary that provides a global network of premium business centres and corporate services that support companies in developing their international business.
Part of the global vision of the DIFC, the world's fastest growing financial hub, DIFC Global provides services that enable companies to make forays into new markets quickly, efficiently and with minimal investment.
DIFC Global is currently in the process of establishing business centres across the world to complement its facilities in DIFC. It already has a presence in Dubai and London and is looking to set up centres in several other prominent financial hubs around the world.
Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, DIFC governor, said: "DIFC Global is an integral part of DIFC's efforts to extend its offerings internationally. As the financial industry in the Middle East grows, more and more global companies are looking to tap lucrative opportunities in the region. Likewise, companies in the region are targeting customers and building partnerships across the world. DIFC Global responds to these needs by providing a supportive infrastructure and services for companies to grow their financial business across the world."
Amnah Al Sayed has been named CEO of DIFC Global. In this role, she will develop new initiatives to develop the new entity and lead the effort to develop solutions that help DIFC Global's customers enhance their productivity and business reach.
A wide range of support services are available to companies located at DIFC Global's business centres.
