Dubai Outsource Zone - AME

---QUOTE---
Dubai Outsource Zone is also in a strong position to provide access to a talent pool necessary for the success of outsourcing operations. Dubai traditionally has provided easy access to cost-effective talent from skill-rich regions like the sub-continent, Egypt, Jordan and Iran. Moroever, DOZ is being built close to the Academic City that will be an easy source of fresh graduate talent. DOZ is located close to leisure, entertainment and tourist facilities making it attractive for knowledge workers to relocate.

Over and above all these benefits, DOZ's value proposition is enhanced by a range of services and facilities that it will offer. These include a mini shopping mall, convenience stores, food courts, gymnasium and tennis courts on campus. These facilities will be set amidst a beautifully landscaped environment with water features.

Dubai Outsource Zone offers the same financial benefits offered by the free zones including 100% tax exemption, 100% ownership and 100 % repatriation. Support services offered by DOZ are aimed at reducing operational hassles for outsourcing service providers and helping them concentrate on their core business.

Emphasis added. 100% ownership refers to the requirement, outside the free zones, that any business have a local partner. Clearly, the attitude of Dubai, as reflected in DOZ, is that Emiratis gain more in a free trade low business-regulation environment than they do from rules, such as the local partner rule, that are meant to increase the participation of nationals in economic activity.
