Who We Are

Over the past two decades, Dubai has become the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia headquarters for many multinational organizations, which has led to a growing number of international associations coming to the Emirate and the need for an overarching supportive body.

The Dubai Association Centre (DAC) is a gateway to the world’s fastest growing economies – offering an ideal setting for global associations to build regional membership or better serve the existing one across the Middle East and beyond.

The Centre has been established by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing and the Dubai World Trade Centre. Together, all partners are committed to offer holistic assistance for the establishment of non-profit, apolitical and nonreligious professional associations and trade bodies in the Emirate of Dubai.

As a result, associations are now able to benefit from economies of scale, experience in the association marketplace, flexibility and adaptability, buying power and centralized facilities of the Dubai Association Centre.
