Launching the campaign on Monday, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, tweeted: “Our roots are Arab, our ambitions are global.

“We invite talents from all over the world to make their ideas a reality in the #United_Global_Emirates.”

The campaign promotes the UAE’s world-class capabilities, services, infrastructure, legal frameworks and resources available to international investors, entrepreneurs and professional talents. It will also highlight the benefits to entrepreneurs, start-ups and investors of all sizes and stages of choosing the UAE as a launch platform for their enterprises.

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces, tweeted that the new economic campaign aims to secure the UAE’s position as one of the strongest global economics over the next 50 years.

“Our nation will build on its entrepreneurial achievements to reinforce its status as a prime destination for talent, expertise and investments.”

The United Global Emirates was launched as the UAE enters a new phase of growth in its 50th year.

It will emphasise the most promising sectors for investment and the lifestyle in the UAE, positioning the country as an ideal destination to live in, work and invest.

With open skies policies, competitive investment benefits, free zones for 100 per cent foreign ownership, and advanced airports that connect the East with the West, the UAE has become the globe in one country in less than five decades.
