Singapore-based AI-enabled business management platform, Osome, has officially entered the UAE market with the opening of a new office in Dubai. The expansion aims to address the administrative and financial challenges faced by the more than one million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) based in the city.
Addressing The UAEs SME Challenge
While Dubai presents significant opportunities for growth, many founders and business owners are often burdened with managing complex accounting, tax, and regulatory compliance. Osome aims to alleviate this pressure by providing a suite of services designed to let entrepreneurs focus on scaling their core business operations rather than getting bogged down in financial administration.
A Strategy For Local Integration
Leading the regional expansion is Helena Flores, Chief Operating Officer of Osome and Managing Director of Osome UAE. Flores outlined a clear two-part strategy for the company’s role in the market. “Our role is twofold: first, to reduce financial and administrative burdens for founders through smart, AI-enabled services backed by human experts,”
she stated. “Second, to grow together with the UAE ecosystem by working with partners – from fintechs and digital platforms to VCs and accelerators, to unlock new opportunities for entrepreneurs.” By replicating its successful partnership model from markets like Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UK, Osome plans to deeply integrate itself into the local business community.
Ecosystem Engagement and Future Plans
To kickstart its engagement with the local tech scene, Osome will participate in the upcoming Expand North Star at GITEX 2025. This provides a platform to connect with potential collaborators and demonstrate its technology. The company also plans to host private networking events for entrepreneurs and partners in Dubai, further cementing its commitment to building a strong presence in the region.
