Dubai Internet City, DIC, has affirmed its role as enabling platform for entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs, at the 20th edition of TECOM SME Builder.
The event, organised by the information technology park, brought together over 100 professionals who discussed the secrets of successful entrepreneurship with a focus on how best to harness business opportunities. Launched by the TECOM Group in 2007, TECOM SME Builder has been a highly successful event series, consisting of two to three annual events organised specifically to serve its 11 business communities in Dubai that offer home to over 5,100 companies and a total workforce of 76,000. Created on the back of positive forecasts that outlined the important role of the SME sector in the growth of the UAE’s economy, the event enables small business owners to open a dialogue with and build a network of experts and consultants in different operational aspects of the industry. Ammar Al Malik, Executive Director, Dubai Internet City, said, "A key focus for Dubai Internet City is to support the region’s entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs by offering a solid platform and access to a pool of knowledge and expertise that can enable them to grow their business. . Our philosophy is based on fostering a diverse ecosystem conducive to ideation and the exchange of knowledge and best practices. With events like TECOM SME Builder, our aim is to facilitate thought leadership and contribute to the development of sector expertise and the growth of the economy."
