ABOUT DWC

Dubai is firmly established as a regional centre for re-export, retail, leisure, aviation, IT and finance. The logistics market is growing at a rate of 20% annually, with more than 60% of the entire Middle East’s imports transiting through Dubai’s borders. The emirate’s excellent infrastructure and pro-business environment make it an ideal gateway to the dynamic Middle Eastern, African and Southeast Asian markets.

Strengthening Dubai’s position as a leading aviation and logistics hub, Dubai World Central is a strategic initiative of the Government of Dubai and chaired by H.H. Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. A multi-phased urban infrastructure development, the self-contained aerotropolis has been designed to meet the present and future needs of aviation, air transport, commercial and logistics businesses. Spanning 140 square kilometres and strategically located in the fast-growing logistics corridor of Dubai, the development is another tangible proof of Dubai’s ongoing commitment to the diversification and sustainable growth of its economy.

Dubai Aviation City Corporation is the entity responsible for the development and execution of Dubai World Central and is fully backed by the Government of Dubai.
