Dubai South, the master development built around aviation, logistics and real estate, has announced a support package for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) at its Business Park, introducing a series of measures designed to ease financial pressure and strengthen tenant relationships.
The package forms part of efforts to align with the government’s commitment to economic stability across Dubai.
The initiative introduces rent-free incentives tied to contract renewals, greater flexibility on payment deferrals, and the waiver of minor administrative penalties. Current rental rates will also be maintained for eligible tenants renewing contracts during this period.

SMEs have been identified as a driver of economic growth and innovation in Dubai, and the package has been framed as a response to the role they play in the broader economy. Dubai South said the measures were intended to provide immediate financial flexibility while also building the conditions for long-term stability.
