This morning we went to Dubai Knowledge Village (DKV) for a meeting and tour.
Dubai Knowledge Village (DKV) is the world’s only Free Zone area dedicated to Human Resource Management and learning excellence. The UAE has other free zones with the strategy of attracting world class companies to the region to further develop the economy beyond oil. The benefits of coming to the UAE and to a free zone includes tax exemption, land (most land in the UAE is for citizens only except in the free zone), central location, and diversity of human capital. Currently the country's GDP contribution from oil is less than 2% and this is because the country knew the oil supply was limited so they invested the oil profits in developing Human Resource Management, Consultancy, Training and Personal Development programs.
DKV has over 450 business partners and 43 of them are international universities. We toured the campus and it was fun to see so many international students gathered around. I think that Dubai would be a great place to study became it offers top education and a wide variety of culture. Plus all students speak perfect English making it an easy place for Americans to study.
