One of the reasons for the continued growth of the UAE’s tech ecosystem, has been its ability to attract the world to Dubai.

Ethara is a company that owns, manages and promotes some of the largest events and IP's in the UAE. This includes Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, alongside similar destination events including NBA and UFC in Abu Dhabi.
