Launched under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, Dubai SME100 identifies the top performing SMEs in Dubai to help groom them into bigger and more sustainable enterprises, and to support them in their growth into larger and internationally oriented companies.

More than just a ranking, the objective of Dubai SME 100 is to inspire willing and able SMEs that have the potential to be world class enterprises, to invest in innovation and people, and to sustain growth. The ranking also serves as a tool for helping SMEs identify capability gaps for improvement.

This is the primary added value of Dubai SME 100: the ultimate outcome is for Dubai to have more growth-oriented, innovative, capable, and sustainable enterprises that can fly the UAE flag high.
