Dubai Ranks in Global Power City Index’s Top 10 for Second Year
Dubai has secured the eighth spot globally and first in the Middle East in the 2024 Global Power City Index (GPCI), maintaining its top-10 position for the second consecutive year. The index, released by Japan’s Mori Memorial Foundation, underscores Dubai’s leadership in innovation, economic dynamism, and global connectivity.
This achievement highlights Dubai as the only Middle Eastern city in the top 10, reaffirming its status as a global hub for business, talent, and investment.
H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, credited the success to the visionary leadership of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai.
“Dubai consistently redefines possibilities, combining innovation, sustainability, and talent development. This ranking is a testament to our collective efforts to build an environment where businesses thrive, creative ideas flourish, and individuals enjoy an exceptional quality of life,” Sheikh Hamdan stated.
The city’s world-class infrastructure, progressive legal framework, and strong public-private partnerships have been pivotal in fostering growth and attracting global investment. Dubai’s commitment to sustainability and strategic innovation continues to set benchmarks for urban excellence, further solidifying its status as a city of the future.
The GPCI ranks cities based on six criteria: Economy, Research and Development, Cultural Interaction, Livability, Environment, and Accessibility, measuring their ability to attract people, capital, and enterprises.
