ETS Expands Global Footprint with Establishment of ETS Dubai

DUBAI, UAE (February 22, 2024) — On the heels of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government’s recent implementation of strategic initiatives aimed at positioning the country as a global business and innovation hub, ETS, the world’s largest, private educational and workforce research and measurement organization, announced today the formation of ETS Dubai. With a permanent presence in Dubai, ETS is cementing its commitment in the UAE as it increases its global footprint and takes steps to provide more in-country support to learners, institutions, organizations and the government.

“ETS’s presence in Dubai allows us to bring a full-scale, deeply personalized approach to our work in supporting a wide range of opportunities and new, exciting collaborations,” said Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS. “The UAE’s dynamism – across business, innovation, and education – makes Emirati institutions, companies, and agencies natural partners for ETS.”

Dubai has established itself as a prominent financial epicenter, playing a critical role in driving the global business landscape. With a new office and staff centrally located in the heart of Dubai Media City, ETS will be well-equipped to serve and collaborate with the government, institutions and learners to deliver globally recognized education and learning products, solutions, consulting and technology-enabled innovation.

With a deep understanding and demonstrated demand for ETS’s products and services, including the TOEFL iBT^®, TOEIC^® and GRE^® tests, ETS Dubai will bring substantial value to the UAE and make a significant impact. These offerings will help fuel the UAE’s continued investment in education and cultivate new knowledge to support a skilled workforce in-country in collaboration with government and industry leaders.
