Soon, Pakistanis can work at these rent-free spaces in Dubai

This is in line with the UAE and Pakistan's economic reforms in support of entrepreneurs.

The advisor to the Prime Minister of Pakistan on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, Zulfi Bukhari, negotiated the launch of rent-free workspaces with Star Business Centre for new Pakistani entrepreneurs and business persons in Dubai.

This is in line with the UAE and Pakistan's economic reforms to support entrepreneurs in starting their businesses.

"We appreciate the spirit of Samana Group of Companies who have become the first Pakistani business group in Dubai offering rent-free workspaces for three months to new Pakistani entrepreneurs, business persons in Dubai," according to Bukhari.

This gesture is in line with the vision of Pakistan's Prime Minister, Imran Khan, helping Pakistan become a debt-free and economically independent country.

The recent spate of business-friendly reforms by the UAE government, including 10-year visas for investors and professionals as well as a move to allow 100 per cent foreign business ownership, along with some economic stimulus packages unveiled by Dubai and Abu Dhabi separately, have increased investor confidence of Pakistanis in the UAE.

The Star Business Centre offers workspaces in Dubai's sought-after business districts, Business Bay and Jumeirah Lake Towers.

The centre frees-up investors of the hassles that come with leasing conventional office spaces or building their own offices; a cost-effective, one-stop-shop for new businesses, multinationals, SMEs and the companies who are planning on re-structuring.
