US Companies And Their Headquarters In The UAE

US Companies And Their Headquarters In The UAE

 As the world's largest economy, the United States (US) has been among the preferred investment destinations for UAE (United Arab Emirates) investors. American companies have also invested in the UAE, with their headquarters located across the UAE. Microsoft, Oracle, Tesla, LinkedIn, Cisco, and Facebook have headquarters in Dubai, a city in the UAE. 

In 2020, investors from the Emirates accounted for about $45 billion of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) flows to the US. In 2021, there was more than US$25 billion in bilateral trade between the two countries. 

Earlier, Marisa Lago, US Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, said there was enormous potential to further boost US-UAE trade ties.

Over the past few years, many US companies have established a presence in the UAE. In 2016, US startup incubator 1776 opened an office in Dubai. In 2017, Elon Musk’s Tesla opened an office in the UAE. Microsoft also marked a major milestone when it opened two cloud region data centers in the UAE in 2019.

The UAE is the single-largest export market for the US in the MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) region, with more than 1,500 US companies operating in the country. The UAE is the preferred location for American companies because of its business-friendly environment,  durable banking sector, and diversified economy. The US recognizes the opportunities offered by the UAE economy, and many companies base their headquarters and regional offices in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, and Dubai.

 US investments in the UAE support the creation of jobs and provide liquidity to capital markets in many sectors, including aerospace, manufacturing, high technology, real estate, and logistics. Major global companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Motors, Nova Chemicals, FedEx, Eli Lilly & Company, Mayo Clinic, and Cigna Healthcare also have headquarters in the UAE. Major US firms Microsoft, Oracle, and Tesla have also established a huge market in the UAE.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue.
