The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed significant growth in the web portal industry, driven by its rapidly expanding digital landscape and increasing internet penetration. Web portals have become essential tools for businesses and individuals alike, providing a centralised platform for accessing information, services, and communities.
Given the high smartphone penetration in the UAE, web portals are increasingly designed to be mobile-friendly and responsive. The UAE’s adoption of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has further fueled the development of innovative web portals.
The UAE government has also played a crucial role in promoting the growth of the web portal industry through initiatives that encourage digital transformation. For an entrepreneur who wants to join this industry, here are the business activities you can choose under your business license.

This involves the operation of websites that use a search engine to generate and maintain an extensive database of internet addresses and content in an easily searchable format. It also involves the operation of other websites that act as portals to the internet, such as media sites providing periodically updated content.
Web portals can generate revenue through various means, including advertising, subscriptions, premium content, e-commerce, and partnerships. By offering personalised content and services, portals can foster strong relationships with their audience and enhance brand loyalty. With the right permissions, portals can also collect valuable data about their users, which can be used for market research, targeted advertising, and product development.
