Overview
Together with the location in the UAE, Dubai Meydan, which significantly increases the Internationalization of eXinvest of Emirates's Activities. The Meydan free zone International Business Center is the headquarters of our Pharma dedicated Company.
The origins (2009–2021)
The free zone was born as a commercial extension of the vast Meydan racing and real-estate complex, and for more than a decade it remained a niche operation. Until the first half of 2021 it employed just four people, administered around 150 companies and offered a limited selection of only fifteen business activities. In this early phase it worked mainly out of the business centre of the luxury Meydan Hotel, without logistics infrastructure of its own such as a dedicated port or airport.
The digital transformation (from July 2021)
In July 2021 the management launched a complete overhaul in order to compete with Dubai’s other twenty-six free zones. Paper-based processes were eliminated entirely and MFZ was repositioned as the leading digital free zone in the United Arab Emirates for start-ups and e-commerce — the point at which licence numbers began to climb steeply.
Registrations went from a handful a month to more than 1,200 new companies every month. Today Meydan Free Zone is home to over 35,000 companies, employs more than 300 people and offers a catalogue of more than 2,500 combinable business activities. It is now regarded as one of the most accessible and cost-effective options in Dubai, chosen above all by service companies, qualified trading businesses and professionals looking for rapid incorporation and a broader-than-average range of permitted activities.

Founder
President and TD Pharmaceuticals
I began my professional career very young, inside the family business founded by my father Antonio Balossi in 1964, acquiring technical, operational and managerial skills from the ground up. That tradition, rooted in Italy for over six decades, was progressively extended and consolidated on international markets.
Over almost thirty-five years in technical orthopedics, rehabilitation and pharmaceuticals, I have worked to bring new technology into the sector: pre-impregnated carbon fibre in prosthetics and rehabilitation, well ahead of its wider adoption; multi-zone insole orthoses, which improved the functionality of custom-made devices; the design and construction of more than sixty orthopedic workshops across Italy; and the importation and distribution of innovative biocompatible materials, which raised the quality and safety of the solutions we build for patients.
In 2016 I edited the professional textbook Orthopedic Manual 2016, which turned a thousand-page product catalogue into a teaching tool for students and orthopedic technicians, built on practical tests, technical reviews and comparative analyses carried out by Italian professionals. The work received the Orthopedic Awards 2016 in the Projects category.
Our family holding has also intervened to safeguard Italy's manufacturing heritage, acquiring and relaunching two historic companies in the sector - Stabilimento Ortopedico Variolo S.p.A. in Udine and the Sant'Orsola healthcare division of Rizzoli S.p.A. in Bologna - securing continuity of employment for more than two hundred and forty people and preserving technical skills of real value to the industry.
Alongside the business I have always kept a teaching commitment, working with FIOTO on training workshops throughout Italy and teaching Materials Technology in the Degree Program in Orthopedic Techniques at the University of Milan. Since October 2024 I am Adjunct Professor at LUISS Guido Carli University, Dubai faculty, in the International Business courses.
In May 2024 I founded eXinvest of Emirates in Dubai, to bring to the market an international pharmaceutical company built on a substantial portfolio of licences and authorised activities issued by the Dubai Health Authority. What has always distinguished my companies is a forward perspective, respect for the value of people and of work, and the ability to decide quickly and independently.
