The Dubai Outsource Zone has so far registered about 72 companies and is likely to be operational next month, reported the Khaleej Times. DOZ expects up to 400 companies to commence operations at the zone within the next five years. Over 85% of land and office space has now been sold in phase one, while phases two should be up and running at some point in Q1(ameinfo.com)
Well it does make sense for a strategically placed regional hub like Dubai. But it will take more than just land and offices to make DOZ work. Alongwith imported cheep labor local talent would also have to make itself available at reasonable rates to compete with outsourcing hubs like India or China.

Wonder how many blog readers have ever walked in to,(not driven past), the Sonapur labor camps?
