The Dubai Association Centre is a gateway to the world’s fastest growing economies.

Dubai is seeing a surge in demand from international associations that are keen to expand their reach in the Middle East and beyond. Evidence of this trend can be seen in the number of associations licensed by the Dubai Association Centre (DAC), which continues to rise steadily every year.

Since DAC was jointly launched in 2014 by Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing, and the Dubai World Trade Centre, it has succeeded in consolidating Dubai’s position as a regional centre for associations.

Our Centre is dedicated to supporting and protecting the interests of regional and global associations that operate in Dubai. We are also strongly committed to ensuring that associations in the emirate have all the support they need to setup, thrive and grow, as there is huge potential for associations to make great contributions to the UAE’s economy and vision, especially in the areas of research, education, knowledge sharing and the development of future industries.

Following the success of the first Dubai Association Conference in December 2017, we are capitalising on a growing interest in Dubai among associations by stepping up our efforts to promote DAC on a the regional and international level.
We are also working closely with our licensed associations and strategic partners to build and grow the association community into a regional hub that associations can leverage to expand their global reach.
