DTEC sits inside Dubai Silicon Oasis and is built for early-stage technology companies — startups, small software teams and founders who want desks and community rather than an office lease. It is one of the more practical landing points for a first UAE entity in tech. Through Worldwide Formations a zero-visa licence starts at AED 5,275 covering up to ten activities, or AED 8,450 with an investor visa, medical and Emirates ID included. You can price a Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Centre licence against the alternatives with our UAE business setup cost calculator.

DTEC is built around co-working rather than private offices, and desk access is normally part of the package. If you need a private office or lab space, the wider Dubai Silicon Oasis campus is the better fit.
The quota is tied to your package rather than to private floor space, which is what makes DTEC workable for small teams. Confirm the number you need at registration - it is easier to size correctly at the start than to increase afterwards.
Yes. Approval depends on your activity, shareholder nationality and expected turnover rather than on the zone. Early-stage companies with little trading history sometimes face more questions, so we prepare the bank file with that in mind and make the introduction.
It is oriented around early-stage and small technology businesses, with co-working rather than private offices as the default. Established firms needing significant space usually look at the wider Dubai Silicon Oasis campus instead.
DTEC is the entrepreneur centre within DSO. Same wider campus, different product: DTEC is desks and community for small teams, DSO is the broader technology park with larger facilities.
Through Worldwide Formations, AED 5,275 for a zero-visa licence covering up to ten activities, or AED 8,450 including one investor visa, medical and Emirates ID. DTEC's own desk and licence fees vary by package, and we confirm the total before you commit.
