The office space is located in the heart of the global science-focused community that enables research, innovation and businesses in the health, energy, life sciences and environment sectors. The new headquarters will accommodate the company's expansion into the Middle East and improve global operations by attracting local partnerships and talents.

By entering the region, Virax Biolab Group aims to increase its distribution reach of high-quality in-vitro diagnostics, innovative products and proprietary T-Cell tests while creating logistical efficiencies. The new headquarters will create new jobs and drive investment and talent to the UAE in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda 'D33'.
