Dubai Multi Commodities Center launches DMCC Cyber, which specializes in cybersecurity

The Dubai Multi Commodities Center announced the launch of “DMCC Cyber”, which represents a specialized system in cybersecurity. This launch comes with the center officially establishing the “DMCC Tech” platform, which is the technological umbrella that brings together specialized centers and communities that lead the digital economy within its business area.

This announcement comes at a time when the number of companies operating in the technology sector in the Dubai Multi Commodities Center has exceeded 4,000 companies, making it the largest and fastest growing sector within the center’s business area. As this community expanded and its level of specialization increased, the Center continued to build more precise sectoral platforms that respond to the needs of technology companies and open up broader areas for cooperation and innovation for them.

DMCC Cyber ​​embodies the latest steps in this development, as it includes more than 200 companies in cybersecurity and serves companies working in the areas of cyber resilience, digital trust, data protection, identity, governance, risk and compliance. The new system complements the existing specialized centers in the Dubai Multi Commodities Center, after protecting digital systems has begun to play a very important role in enabling digital businesses and securing the infrastructure on which the global economy is based.

This step highlights the difference between technology companies and cybersecurity companies within the digital economy. The technology company builds the systems, platforms, and applications that move value, information, and services across the digital economy, while the cybersecurity company protects these systems and secures the data, infrastructure, and trust on which all digital activity depends.

On this occasion, Ahmed Bin Sulayem, CEO and Executive Director of the Dubai Multi Commodities Center, said: “Technology has become the largest and fastest growing sector in our business region, a reflection of Dubai’s position as one of the most prominent global destinations for innovation and high-growth companies. As this community expands, the need for more specialized platforms that serve different areas of the technology economy has increased. DMCC Tech brings together these communities within one system, while DMCC Cyber underscores the growing importance of cybersecurity in a world where “Digital business development and growth. Together, they enhance our ability to help technology companies establish their businesses in Dubai, connect and grow internationally, while directly connecting them to one of the most active business communities in the world.”

“DMCC Cyber” joins the Artificial Intelligence Center, the Crypto Center, and the Gaming Center within the “DMCC Tech” platform, and “DMCC Quantum” will join it later. These specialized centers and ecosystems provide technology companies with direct access to one of the world’s most interconnected business communities, connecting them to more than 26,000 member companies working in global trade, finance, commodities and emerging technologies.

The platform already includes well-known international companies, including CrowdStrike, PwC, Cypherma, and FBT Software, reflecting the size, diversity, and international reach of the technology community in DMCC.

The scope of DMCC Tech covers the components of the digital economy, as it brings together centers and systems specialized in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, blockchain, games, and emerging technologies. The platform also reaches new frontiers of innovation, especially the rapidly evolving space economy. Advances in satellites, Earth observation and space-derived data are changing various sectors ranging from trade and finance to logistics and resource management.

As these technologies become more prominent in the global economy, DMCC Tech provides a platform for commercial growth, while DMCC Cyber ​​helps prepare and protect the critical digital infrastructure on which these technologies depend.
