What this is
UAECO is a public directory that places startups and companies on a map of the seven emirates. Every pin opens a profile: what the company does, its sector and stage, where it is based, and how to reach it. Visitors can search and filter by sector, stage, emirate, company type and business model.
How a company gets listed
- The company completes a short profile and places its pin on the map.
- It pays the listing fee in USDT. Payment is matched on-chain to the exact amount shown at checkout.
- The listing goes live as soon as the payment is confirmed, for twelve months, and can be renewed.
There are no user accounts. Each listing has a private management link for editing the profile, moving the pin and renewing. See pricing for plans and supported networks.
How locations are checked
A pin must fall inside the United Arab Emirates — we test the coordinates against the emirate boundaries on both the device and the server, and detect the emirate automatically. Coordinates are chosen by the company; we check that they are plausible, not that the company operates from that exact spot.
What “listed” does and doesn’t mean
Profiles are written by the companies themselves. A listing shows that the company chose to be listed and that the fee was paid; it is not an endorsement, a licence check, a credit assessment or investment advice. Always do your own due diligence.
Independence
UAECO is an independent directory. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government entity, free zone or regulator, and it does not use official emblems.
Map data
Emirate boundaries are © OpenStreetMap contributors (Open Database Licence), distributed by geoBoundaries. The map is drawn from this data directly — no third-party map tiles are loaded, so your visit is not shared with a map provider. Neighbouring countries are shown for context only.
Corrections and removals
Listing owners can correct or remove details at any time from their management link. If you see an inaccurate or abusive listing, report it to the operator of this site and it will be reviewed and, where appropriate, hidden.
