Alessandro Palombo, an entrepreneur based in Lisbon, reflects on his experiences living in Dubai and running businesses in Singapore. He contrasts the two locations, noting that while Dubai showcases wealth through ostentatious displays, Singapore's affluent citizens might be seen in flip-flops, hinting at a more casual, understated luxury. He advises entrepreneurs to consider their client locations when choosing a base, asserting that Dubai favors interactions with Europe and the US due to time zones, whereas Singapore is advantageous for doing business in Asia thanks to a more accessible environment.
Displays of luxury are more understated in Singapore than in Dubai. In Dubai, business meetings often happen in lavish offices, but in Singapore, I've seen more personal touches.
Consider where your clients are based when deciding which city is best for your business. If you're doing business with Europe or the US, Dubai would be a better fit.
