The team at the tech HQ includes more than 400 developers and engineers. From its base in Dubai, the platform’s dedicated team of developers and engineers will develop the platform to serve customers across nine markets: UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
Spread across 100,000 sq ft and over three floors, the new talabat office in City Walk has been designed with sustainability in mind. It features several environmentally-friendly elements, such as a low-consumption water system, LED lighting, and open windows for natural light, reducing the building’s environmental impact.
Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed said that Dubai would continue finetuning its economic model while investing in the infrastructure and resources needed to support business in the digital era. He emphasised the importance of fostering creativity, innovation, and specialised skills in maintaining the emirate’s status as an exceptional regional hub for business and technology.
Tomaso Rodriguez, talabat’s CEO, thanked the city for its ongoing support and encouragement for businesses, particularly in the technology sector.
Rodriguez said: “The opening of our tech HQ in Dubai is a testament to our continued commitment to championing technology in the region and attracting tech talent. Our dedicated team of developers and engineers is quite unique in that it builds and maintains the head and heart of our platform – right here at the heart of the city.
“The team is looking to further grow with over 100 product and tech positions, more than half of which will be based out of the tech HQ.”
