Dubai has clusters of free zones, among which the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) is the world’s premier free trade zone. It has grown into the commodity center for not just the Middle East but the entire world. DMCC is unlike any other Dubai Free Zone but with a lot of potential and opportunity for the retail and commerce sector. The DMCC free zone is the gateway to global trade and the exclusive spot for retail exposure to grow your business. DMCC has been crowned ‘Global Free Zone of the Year’ by the Financial Times FDI magazine for 3 consecutive years and it has been home to a vibrant community, innovative infrastructure, world-class services and a stunning choice of properties, all minutes from excellent air, sea and road links to the world.

DMCC was established in 2002, with a strategic initiative of the Dubai Government to provide a marketplace and necessary physical and financial infrastructure to run a thriving commodities market. At present, DMCC free zone is the house for almost 12,000 companies which are actively operating including both commodities and other businesses.
