The Dubai Land Department (DLD), in partnership with Q4 Consultants and IIFL Group, hosted the ‘Dubai Real Estate Connect’ event in New Delhi, India. This initiative is part of a strategic effort to elevate Dubai’s position as a global leader in real estate investment.
The event was attended by Dr. Abdul Nasser Al Shaali, UAE ambassador to the Republic of India, and featured a distinguished assembly of leading investors, entrepreneurs, and key decision-makers from India’s real estate sector.
Moreover, this initiative aligns with the Real Estate I, Dubai’s Real Estate Promotion Strategy, which the Dubai Land Department is implementing throughout the year across various global cities. The aim is to broaden international cooperation and strengthen investment ties with key global markets, particularly India, which is among Dubai’s most significant strategic partners in real estate investment.

The Dubai Land Department delegation included Majida Ali Rashid, CEO of the Real Estate Development Sector; Majid Al Marri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector; Khalifa Al Zeriem Al Suwaidi, CEO of Emirates Real Estate Solutions (ERES), the technical arm of the DLD; and Mohammed Yahya, director of the Real Estate Transactions Department. A comprehensive presentation showcased Dubai’s real estate investment landscape, emphasizing the promising opportunities and competitive advantages that position the emirate as a premier investment destination.
Strategic pillars for business enhancement
During the visit, the delegation presented several strategic pillars, including modern trends in urban planning, streamlined regulatory procedures, and the provision of integrated digital services that enhance the ease of doing business while safeguarding investor rights. They also underscored the strong bilateral relations between the UAE and India, along with joint initiatives to support investment flows and promote economic integration.
This initiative is part of the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, which aims to position the emirate among the top three global cities for real estate investment. The strategy is founded on principles of transparency, efficiency, and technology-driven innovation. This forward-thinking vision has led to significant qualitative advancements, reflecting the increasing confidence of the international investment community in Dubai’s real estate ecosystem.
Pioneering digital transformation initiatives
DLD also showcased its groundbreaking digital transformation initiatives, including the Tokenisation Project, making Dubai the first entity in the region to adopt blockchain technology for property registration. Other key initiatives include the AI-powered Smart Rental Index, the ‘She Pioneers’ initiative, and integrated digital platforms such as the Dubai REST app. These smart services collectively enhance the efficiency and speed of real estate transactions.

Celebrating women in real estate

A bridge between two dynamic markets
Majid Al Marri emphasized that the ‘Dubai Real Estate Connect’ initiative in India represents more than just a promotional event; it serves as an extension of a vital economic bridge linking two dynamic global markets. He noted, “Our visit reaffirms Dubai’s full readiness to attract international investors and strengthen its position as a global hub for real estate investment by showcasing its competitive advantages and exploring new avenues of cooperation. We also aim to benefit from India’s advanced innovation and entrepreneurship experience and establish strategic partnerships with investors and business leaders in the Indian market, contributing to sustainable growth and expanding prospects for deeper economic integration between the two sides.”
