UAE Ranks #1 in Global Entrepreneurship for the Fourth Time

 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has once again topped the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Report 2024/2025, securing its position as the best country for entrepreneurship among 56 global economies. This remarkable achievement marks the fourth consecutive year that the UAE has ranked first, reinforcing its commitment to fostering a thriving business ecosystem.

Why the UAE is a Global Leader in Business

The UAE has positioned itself as a prime destination for startups, entrepreneurs, and SMEs. With a streamlined business setup process, entrepreneurs can obtain a business license in just 15 minutes through the Bashar platform.

The country’s free zones provide additional incentives, offering 100% foreign ownership, tax benefits, and simplified registration processes, without requiring a local sponsor. Furthermore, the UAE is known for its pro-business policies, skilled workforce, and advanced infrastructure, making it a highly attractive market for investors.

Key Factors Behind the UAE’s Success

The GEM Report 2024/2025 highlights several critical areas where the UAE outperforms other nations:

📌 Strong access to entrepreneurial finance
📌 Ease of funding & investment opportunities
📌 Government policies that support businesses
📌 Favorable tax laws & reduced bureaucracy
📌 High-quality entrepreneurship education
📌 Efficient commercial infrastructure
📌 Minimal regulatory burdens for startups
📌 A culture that encourages business growth

These factors have contributed to the UAE’s ability to create an entrepreneurship-friendly environment, helping new businesses flourish.

A Nation Committed to Entrepreneurship Growth

One of the most impressive aspects of the UAE’s entrepreneurship ecosystem is its high level of ambition and confidence among local entrepreneurs. According to the report, 70% of Emiratis recognize strong business opportunities, and many startups are actively expanding their workforce.

Additionally, the UAE has claimed the #1 spot in the National Entrepreneurship Context Index (NECI), a measure of how well a country supports startups and small businesses based on expert assessments.

With progressive policies, world-class infrastructure, and an unwavering focus on business growth, the UAE continues to pave the way as a global leader in entrepreneurship and innovation.

For aspiring entrepreneurs and investors, the UAE remains one of the best places to launch and grow a business in the world.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment.
