As part of its Middle East expansion, Imbono will relocate its Dubai office from 4,435 sq ft to 11,538 sq ft at DIFC Square and plans to hire more than 40 roles in 2026, reinforcing Dubai as its operational anchor for the region and beyond.

Imbono’s model is built around a multi‑decade horizon that mirrors the UAE’s long‑range planning ethos.

“Dubai continues to demonstrate resilience and vision – and now is no different. Even amid regional headwinds, the UAE maintains policy clarity, connectivity, and a forward‑looking agenda that aligns with how we think at Imbono: long term, partnership driven, and accountable for delivery.
