"Dubai Internet City has gained valuable management expertise over the years in developing the ICT cluster into one of the most favoured destinations for global corporations that are intent on expanding their regional footprint.

Located just south of the Korean peninsula, Jeju Island is the largest and the only South Korean province that enjoys a special autonomous status. Jeju City is the capital of the island that boasts the famed Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Jeju Island delegation visit marks another step in DIC's global initiatives. Recently, a high level DIC delegation embarked on a three-city road show across Sweden and met with over 40 executives from Scandinavian companies keen on expanding their presence in the Middle East.
