What is the Dubai Traders Program?
The Dubai Traders Program (DTP) is an initiative announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, under the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) to support the growth of Dubai-based SMEs. The program aims to encourage Emirati and non-Emirati sellers of all sizes, including new entrepreneurs, to adopt new digital channels, so they scale operations and reach new customer bases locally and regionally. It relies on key anchor partnerships with leading B2B, B2C, and specialized digital players to provide a suite of tools, incentives, and support mechanisms for sellers to get online.
