DIFC Passes 10,000 Active Companies in First Half of 2026

Dubai International Financial Centre reported 10,018 active registered companies at the end of June 2026, crossing the 10,000 mark for the first time. The centre said that was 30% higher than a year earlier.

Its first-half update also counted 1,134 regulated financial-services firms and 1,933 AI, fintech and innovation companies. Those figures describe the scale of the business community based in DIFC, not vacancies at the DIFC Authority. The report offers job seekers a current view of the centre’s growing finance and technology ecosystem.
