The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism has signed a new agreement with Deutsche Bank aimed at deepening international investor engagement and expanding investment opportunities in the emirate, reinforcing its status as a global business hub.
The partnership will create structured pathways for global investors, family offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, corporates and industrial groups looking to establish or grow their presence in Dubai. Deutsche Bank will draw on its wealth, private banking and corporate networks to identify clients exploring international structuring, relocation, diversification or capital allocation opportunities.
DET will then work directly with these clients to guide their entry into Dubai, offering end-to-end support that includes business setup, coordination with government entities and access to relevant residency options. The collaboration also supports the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which seeks to double the size of the emirate's economy and cement its reputation as a top global destination for living, working and investing.
Hadi Badri, chief executive of the Dubai Economic Development Corporation, said the agreement reflects growing international confidence in Dubai's economic stability and long-term vision, and will help convert investor interest into tangible outcomes.
Salman Mahdi, global vice chairman of the Private Bank at Deutsche Bank, described the tie-up as part of the bank's broader Global Hausbank strategy, positioning it as a bridge between Europe and major international hubs such as Dubai.
As part of the arrangement, Deutsche Bank will host a Wealth and Family Office Forum in Dubai and bring DET into international roadshows and client events, while DET will support inbound visits from the bank's clients to explore Dubai's investment landscape firsthand.
