About DSP

Dubai Science Park serves the science-based economy: pharmaceutical firms, medical device distributors, environmental consultancies and laboratory operators license here, in a district that permits actual wet-lab and light production use.

That physical capability separates DSP from ordinary office zones. Buildings carry the ventilation, drainage and approvals that laboratory tenants need, and the authority understands dossiers involving MOHAP product registrations and scientific import permits.

The park sits in Al Barsha South near Dubai Hills, and shares TECOM governance with the media and tech districts. For science businesses that outgrow a desk, it is usually the shortlist's first name.

What DSP costs

Indicative first-year cost for an office-based licence. Laboratory fit-outs scoped individually. Budget from AED 15,500 for the first year, then add visa allocations, medicals and Emirates ID per person, and workspace if you upgrade beyond the entry package. Renewals typically come in below year-one totals. Our costs page breaks down every line item, and your written quote fixes the numbers before you pay.

Questions

DSP questions, answered

Can I run a laboratory in Dubai Science Park?

Yes, subject to facility approvals matched to your lab class. DSP buildings are engineered for scientific use, which is rare among Dubai's office-led free zones.

Does a pharma trading company need extra approvals?

Product registration with MOHAP and import permits sit on top of the trade licence. We coordinate both tracks so stock is not stuck at port waiting for paperwork.

Who fits Science Park rather than Healthcare City?

DHCC regulates patient-facing clinical care. DSP suits the industry side: manufacturers, distributors, labs and consultancies that serve providers rather than treat patients.
