DED Services

The Department of Economic Development (DED)

In Dubai’s fast-moving business environment, the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), formerly known as DED, plays a central role as a key government authority. It is responsible for shaping and implementing the economic vision of Dubai and supporting the UAE’s broader goal of building a modern, innovative, and service-driven economy. By creating a business-friendly environment, the department contributes significantly to the growth and development of the emirate’s economy.

Working closely with its affiliated entities, the department develops policies, strategies, and initiatives that support economic progress across multiple sectors. It also identifies priority industries and extends support to both local and international investors looking to establish or expand their presence in Dubai.

The authority is responsible for issuing licenses to both new and existing businesses in Dubai. These services include license issuance, renewal, modification, and other regulatory procedures, creating a structured framework that supports sustainable business growth.
