Dubai Silicon Oasis. Dubai Techno-Cluster.

Dubai Silicon Oasis or Silicon Oasis is a 7 hectare technology park with 800 companies from electronics, boards, processors and other types of modern technology. Among the well-known ones I met Schneider Electric, Osram, Fujitsu on signboards and signs, AMD, HP, Intel have also opened their projects here.

Next to the office buildings opened: the Fakeeh Hospital, Wellington British School, RIT University, residential residences and a separate cluster in the Light Industrial format, where stylish offices are connected to warehouses or small manufacturing facilities.

"Silicon Oasis" is one of Dubai's 23 freeshares, which means entrepreneurs get 100% ownership of their company, and all the tax perks.

The main Silicon Oasis building with that tall gray spire and active sharp cantilevers goes more into some Asian theme and I don't really like it architecturally, but the Dubai Digital Park built next to it looks modern and nice.

Dubai Digital Park is a large block within the Silicon Oasis, with 150,000 meters of office buildings and residences. The project also has 8 separate buildings, each designed for one large company, with the option to hang their logo on the glass corner for solidity.

Considering that of the Fortune 500 corporations in the world, 138 companies have already set up offices in Dubai, standalone buildings are in demand here.

Next to the Digital Park is the local technology gas pedal DTEC - Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Camus. It's essentially a large 10,000 meter co-working space that, in addition to office space, houses DTEC Ventures, a government venture capital fund that invests in its residents' technology startups. There's also a gas pedal lecture auditorium, an intel innovation center and an HP Innovation Garage.

All residents have the opportunity to utilize the Rochester Institute of Technology facilities. The main building and new campuses are located there at Silicon Oasis. The university itself teaches microelectronics, industrial engineering, computer security, and engineering. Between RIT's buildings stands a beautiful orange semi-circular building with the Innovation Center labeled.

They built "Oasis" on a large plot of land, which 15 years ago was a desert. This area has not become an oasis in the direct sense of the word yet - not all the buildings are built, so here and there there are vacant lots, and you can see that the office buildings are not all filled. But you can also see that the Dubai authorities are sincerely trying to attract companies from all over the world here. For this purpose they create infrastructure and build buildings for growth.
