Dubai Internet City (DIC) is a technology-focused commercial free zone established in October 2000 by the Dubai government in partnership with TECOM Invest

Dubai Internet City (DIC) is a technology-focused commercial free zone established in October 2000 by the Dubai government in partnership with TECOM Investments, and now hosts over 1,600 tech companies — including Microsoft, Oracle and IBM — and more than 24,000 professionals across 1.5 million square feet. It is a commercial and business free zone rather than a residential freehold community: ownership within it is structured on a leasehold or freehold basis depending on the specific plot's designation, so buyers should verify status building by building rather than assuming freehold applies district-wide. Companies and investors considering a presence in the free zone should confirm licensing, tax and ownership terms directly with TECOM Group and the relevant Dubai authorities rather than relying on a community summary. Dubai Internet City Metro Station on the Red Line anchors the district, with The International School of Choueifat and GEMS Dubai American Academy both within a kilometre, and Mediclinic Al Sufouh and American Hospital Clinic Media City providing nearby healthcare.
