In addition to understanding the local business landscape, the below infographic also shares which freezones offer the right infrastructure and support necessary for startups to flourish in this niche space. Compliance is crucial in these sectors, and startups will need to understand the regulatory framework governed by Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
