Why Dubai is the Cloud Gateway to MENA

Dubai, the Middle East’s commercial nucleus, has positioned itself as a global cloud computing hub. With $3.2 billion cloud market value by 2025 (Statista) and 19% CAGR growth, Dubai’s strategic location, pro-tech regulations, and digital-first policies attract enterprises from fintech to logistics.
