Dubai Knowledge Park specialises in human-capital businesses: corporate training providers, professional certification bodies, HR and recruitment consultancies and e-learning companies. It sits beside Internet and Media City, sharing the same TECOM campus infrastructure.
KHDA educational permits, which many training activities require, are a well-trodden path from DKP, and the zone's activity list is built around exactly these businesses, which keeps regulatory friction low compared to licensing education activities in generalist zones.

Dubai Knowledge Park frequently asked questions
Do training companies need extra approvals?
Most vocational and professional training in Dubai needs a KHDA permit alongside the trade licence. DKP's processes are built around this combination, which is the main reason to license there rather than a generalist zone.
What does a Dubai Knowledge Park setup cost?
Licences start around AED 15,000 to AED 25,000 plus workspace. Training activities requiring KHDA permits carry additional approval fees, which we include in the quoted budget upfront.
Can individual trainers get licensed?
Yes, TECOM freelance permits cover trainers and education professionals, providing a residence visa and legal invoicing without a full company setup.
