Mubasher: Digital Economy Solutions (DES), a joint venture between emaratech and the Department of Economic Development of Dubai (DED), will launch DubaiStore.
This platform will be the first local online marketplace which will focus on SMEs and home-based businesses (e-traders), according to a recent statement.
DubaiStore will be an online marketplace for all licenced businesses across Dubai, with a focus on boosting businesses with zero possibility of direct competition between it and the sellers, since it does not own or sell any products of its own.
“We plan to launch the online marketplace in the third quarter this year,” the CEO of DES Abdallah Hassan, said.
DubaiStore will have all the capabilities of creating and managing online stores and orders, thriving to endorse merchants’ individuality by providing them with a digital representation of their physical brand.
