About DMCC

The world’s most awarded free zone

DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) is the UAE’s largest and most prestigious free zone, home to over 25,000 companies in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers district. It has been voted Global Free Zone of the Year by the Financial Times for nine consecutive years.

DMCC is the natural home for commodities trading, gold and precious metals, energy and professional services firms who want the credibility that comes with a premium Dubai address. Setup costs are higher than entry-level free zones — but so is the standing it gives you with banks and international counterparties.
