Dubai offers a rich and avant-garde ecosystem focused on innovation, design, and forward-thinking as a means for growth and sustainability towards a brighter and better future.

Indeed, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has set the grounds and infrastructure for Dubai to become the most innovative city in the world and the capital of creative economy and culture by 2025.

Dubai’s Creative Economy Strategy

About Dubai Destination
About Dubai destination Glimpse 02

Motivated by the volume of investments supporting research and development, as well as the encouraging measures put in place, more and more international and regional designers and creatives are establishing themselves in Dubai.

The below figures represent a vast market for personal and professional growth opportunities for all, particularly for students who will have the competitive advantage of tapping into it from day one. As a result, Dubai is set to become their biggest career asset in itself, and the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation’s role in this ambitious plan is to select, foster and empower high-potential students.

Numbers speak for themselves: the current 8,000 creative companies specializing in content, design, and culture are expected to grow to 15,000, which means a significant need for creative people and innovators. The latter alone currently represents 70,000 creative professionals, a number expected to keep growing to reach the mark of 150,000 resident creatives and designers by 2025.
