Dubai, UAE, 8 July 2026: Dubai Internet City, the region’s leading technology hub, has entered into a strategic partnership with Luxinnovation, Luxembourg’s national innovation agency, to drive innovation, foster cross-border collaboration, and support knowledge sharing.

Luxinnovation is Luxembourg’s national innovation agency. The organisation supports companies in identifying innovation opportunities and participating in collaborative innovation projects that contribute to the development of a sustainable, competitive, and digital economy. It also provides companies with access to knowledge, funding, infrastructure, and networks to support their innovation journey. In 2025, Luxinnovation supported a record number of more than 1,000 companies and delivered 1,092 advisory and support services to 561 companies.

Dubai Internet City, one of TECOM Group PJSC’s 10 sector-specific business districts, will provide support and guidance to innovative companies within Luxinnovation’s network seeking to establish a presence in its business ecosystem, helping ensure a streamlined and efficient process for setting up operations in Dubai.

The partnership will also create opportunities for Dubai-based start-ups, scale-ups and technology companies interested in exploring the European market through Luxembourg, leveraging the country’s innovation ecosystem, international connectivity and strategic position within the European Union. Luxinnovation and its partners will provide personalised support to help companies determine whether Luxembourg is the ideal location for their business expansion, while enabling them to explore opportunities across the European market.

“Dubai Internet City serves as a gateway for technology companies seeking to access new markets, opportunities, and partnerships,” said Ammar Al Malik, Executive Vice President of Commercial at TECOM Group and Managing Director of Dubai Internet City. “Our partnership with Luxinnovation reflects a shared commitment to supporting collaboration and knowledge sharing. By strengthening ties between organisations in both markets, we are creating new opportunities for businesses to connect and grow, in line with the objectives of Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33’.”

David Foy, Head of International Business Relationships – Digital Economy, Luxinnovation, said: “As Luxembourg’s national innovation agency, we are committed to supporting innovation, fostering international collaboration and helping companies build meaningful partnerships. By connecting Luxembourg’s and Dubai’s innovation ecosystems, this collaboration with Dubai Internet City will create opportunities for knowledge exchange, business connections and collaborative innovation initiatives that can benefit organisations in both markets.”

By combining Luxembourg’s position as a gateway to Europe with Dubai Internet City’s role as a leading technology hub in the Middle East, both organisations seek to create new pathways for innovation and international collaboration.

The strategic partnership reinforces Dubai Internet City’s role in enabling innovation and entrepreneurship through its ecosystem of multinational corporations, innovative start-ups, Fortune 500 companies and tech giants such as Google, Huawei, IBM, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Salesforce, Samsung, and SAP. Dubai Internet City is also home to more than 31,000 skilled professionals and 20+ R&D and Innovation Centres.
