The Centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training (CERT) was established in 1996 and now constitutes a hub for a network of 13 Higher Colleges of Technology. It has established a network of spin-offs that will undoubtedly help the country enter the knowledge economy era.

CERT operates two science and technology parks, one in Abu Dhabi and one in Dubai, providing access to world-class experts in technology through more than 20 multinational partners. These parks were established to foster the use of the latest technologies in the United Arab Emirates while building the technological infrastructure required for further sustained development.

The Dubai Biotechnology & Research Park (DuBiotech) was launched by HH General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defence, as part of Dubai’s 2010 vision to establish a knowledge based economy. The Park, which is located on 21 million square feet (ca. 2,3 square kilometers) near the Emirates (311) ring road, will service the entire industry, ranging from small incubators to regional offices of key biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, to manufacturing plants.

DuBiotech provides additional benefits such as being 100% tax-free, allowing 100% foreign ownership, and 100% repatriation of profits abroad. The construction work will start in the second half of 2005, and companies will be able to begin moving into operational premises by the second quarter of 2006.
