New technology platforms have pushed more UAE residents to become entrepreneurs, revealed a study by social networking website LinkedIn.

Digital platforms have helped residents to overcome traditional barriers that come with founding companies, making the process easier and more accessible, reported Emirates 24/7.

The study also showed that entrepreneurship is the fastest-growing job year-on-year in the UAE as the country recorded the highest percentage of LinkedIn members who are entrepreneurs.

The number is higher than any other country in the Middle Eastern region and has had a growth rate of 98.3 per cent year-on-year.
