location will include a business incubator, to be operated by
CERT, in cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (ADCCI), and the United Arab Emirates Offsets Group.
CERT has also agreed with the Fraunhofer Institute for Software
and Systems Engineering in Berlin to establish an innovation

sustainable technology base indigenous to the region, and (ii)
applying existing technologies in innovative ways to further the
region’s economic development.

B. Dubai Internet City
The Dubai Internet City (DIC) initiative was launched by the
Government of Dubai in October 1999. It aims at creating the
infrastructure, environment and attitude that modern businesses
need in order to operate globally and efficiently in a
knowledge-based economy. It capitalizes on Dubai’s established
position as the Gulf’s major trading center by inviting
international IT firms to set up shop at a free-trade zone complex
being erected on Dubai’s outskirts. The ultimate objective is to
establish Dubai as a major regional hub for e-commerce. By
promoting ICTs and Web-based businesses, DIC has created a cluster
characterized by interaction among ICT developers, service
providers, logistics firms, educators, incubators and venture
capitalists at a single location.
