In the first half of 2025, TECOM Group PJSC, a leading player in Dubai's specialised business districts, has reported a significant surge in growth and expansion. The company's net profit soared by 22% to AED 737 million, and revenue grew by 21% to AED 1.4 billion, underpinned by high occupancy levels and Dubai government initiatives like Operation 300bn and the D33 agenda[1][2][3].
TECOM Group's strategy focuses on strategic expansion driven by strong demand across key sectors, operational efficiency, and sustainability initiatives. The company's growth is attributed to demand in sectors such as technology, media, education, and design, and strategic acquisitions made in the previous year[1][2][3].
Key components of TECOM’s strategy include:
- Expansion in specialised business districts serving six vital sectors, positioning Dubai as a global hub for foreign direct investment[1][2][3].
- Facilitating regional headquarters openings and expansion of global firms such as PayPal and IMCD, boosting the commercial ecosystem[1].
- Launching new industry initiatives in media, design, and education, for example via Dubai Knowledge Park and Dubai International Academic City, enhancing the talent pipeline and future-ready workforce[1][5].
- Hosting leading events like Step Dubai 2025 at Dubai Internet City, to drive innovation in technology sectors, including new tracks on AI, PropTech, and AdTech, attracting over 8,000 attendees and massive funding presence[4].
- Advancing its sustainability agenda with 55 LEED-certified buildings and generating 8 GWh of clean solar energy, aligning with Dubai’s environmental goals[1].
- Maintaining strong financial returns with an approved interim dividend of AED 400 million and a proposed 10% increase in dividends for H2 2025, reflecting operational efficiency and long-term shareholder value creation[1][2].
TECOM Group's performance reflects its continued expansion in 2025. The company's EBITDA increased by 24% to AED 1.1 billion for the same period, and land lease occupancy reached 99%, while commercial and industrial occupancy rates rose to 95%[1].
The regional headquarters of PayPal opened at Dubai Internet City, and global firms such as IMCD expanded within TECOM Group, further boosting the commercial ecosystem[1]. TECOM Group's strong performance reinforces its role as a key player in Dubai's diversified economic growth.
TECOM Group's net profit margin remained healthy at 80% for the first half of 2025, and an interim dividend of AED 400 million was approved for H1 2025[1][2].
