Business Setup in Dubai Investment Park
Mixed industrial and commercial zone for warehouses and light industry.
Dubai Investment Park, or DIP, is a large mixed-use zone of light industry, warehousing, commercial and residential plots between Jebel Ali and Dubai South, on the Expo and Al Maktoum axis. It suits manufacturing, storage, logistics, trading and contracting businesses that need warehouse or industrial space on a Dubai mainland licence.
Its position near Jebel Ali Port, JAFZA and Al Maktoum Airport makes DIP strong for supply-chain and trading operations. Companies license through the Department of Economy and Tourism, and staff employment visas are usually the main visa need.
What should you know about Dubai Investment Park?
Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.
Why set up a company in Dubai Investment Park?
The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where Dubai Investment Park is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.
Industrial space
Warehouse and light-industrial units at scale, hard to find in the central districts.
Port and airport
Close to Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum Airport, strong for logistics and trading.

Frequently asked questions
-
Can I license a warehouse business in DIP?
Yes. A trading, storage, logistics or light-industrial activity takes a Dubai mainland licence from the Department of Economy and Tourism, with the warehouse registered through Ejari. We handle both.
-
Is DIP mainland or free zone?
DIP is Dubai mainland. The adjacent JAFZA is a separate free zone, which can suit a 100 percent foreign-owned trading company that exports.
-
What visas do DIP businesses usually need?
Mostly staff employment visas, which depend on the facility size and activity. We process the establishment card and the employee visas through GDRFA and MOHRE.
