Dubai Silicon Oasis Free Zone Company Setup
The technology park and integrated community, now part of DIEZ.
The Dubai Silicon Oasis free zone suits you if you want a technology-oriented licence with real space and a lower cost base than the central districts. It is a technology park administered by the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, now part of the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority alongside DAFZA and Dubai CommerCity.
It is also where IFZA is based, so we compare the two honestly rather than assuming: the address is the same district, the authority and the package are not.
What should you know about Dubai Silicon Oasis?
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 Silicon Oasis?
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 Silicon Oasis is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.
Space as well as desks
Offices, laboratories and light industrial units sit in one district, so a hardware business is not forced into a tower.
A complete community
Housing, schools and retail in the same plan, which matters when your team lives near the office.
Compared against IFZA properly
IFZA sits in the same district under a different authority. We set out both rather than defaulting to one.
