Genesis of the Journey

At the young age of 15, Lukas began pursuing his passion for creation by engaging in his own software and web design projects.

Lukas Zvala recalls, “By the age of 18, I was a shareholder and director of one of the region’s leading data recovery companies. The decision to sell this successful venture marked a turning point, broadening my horizons and sparking an interest in exploring a variety of sectors.

Interestingly, my academic path did not mirror my technological inclinations. Instead, I pursued a field as rigorous as it was distant from IT – Law. I graduated with a doctorate in Law, complemented by an MBA, which enriched my understanding of business theory.”

Along with his studies, Lukas also played an active role in both business and non-governmental sectors. He founded the Turkish-Slovak Chamber of Commerce in 2010, which became a significant part of his career, symbolizing the connection between different cultures and business practices. From Slovakia to Turkey and eventually to the Arab world, Lukas’ diverse experiences reflect his desire for exploration. Currently residing in Dubai, he manages a portfolio of a variety of businesses, including manufacturing, business advisory, international trade, and software development, keeping his life exciting and challenging.

“On the personal front, my priorities have evolved to focus on my family. As a husband and father, I am now embracing the most vital role of my life – guiding my son to surpass my achievements. Born into the dynamic tech era of Dubai, he is growing up in a world vastly different from my childhood, the world that is rapidly advancing and often leaves many disoriented,” he further adds.

Throughout his journey, he emphasized the importance of adaptability and continual learning in both professional and personal life.

Advisor Dubai – Boutique corporate services

However, his journey marked a significant position, as Lukas took the role of an advisor to board members at the well-recognized Arab Business Club in Dubai in 2015. Lukas shares, “At 28, I was captivated by the rapid growth and impressive projects of this dynamic city. Today, I own a boutique advisory group in Dubai, Advisor Dubai, offering comprehensive services for entrepreneurs and investors.”

The specialties at his organization include business setup, investor and golden visas, tax and accounting services, KYC/AML compliance, banking support, business consulting, and real estate brokerage. Lukas Zvala lets us know, “Serving as an advisor is not just my profession; it’s a passion that keeps me engaged across various sectors, fostering both personal growth and continuous learning. Furthermore, I am also an investor in both real estate and technologies.”

Every successful person has a guide who directs them in the right direction. Similarly, Lukas Zvala’s wife is an integral part of his path and frequently serves as his advisor, truly embodying the saying – Behind every successful man is a woman. He muses, “Maintaining a work-life balance is essential, as my family’s support is the cornerstone of my motivation and drive.”

Differentiating from the Competition

Having a distinctive position is essential to developing a strong brand presence in the face of tough competition in every industry. Dubai has seen a sharp increase in the number of real estate brokerage and company formation companies in recent years. There is a lot of competition because there are hundreds of business setup companies and over 40 Free Zone Authorities. However, a lot of consultants charge a high price for standard services and prioritize package sales rather than providing tailored attention to each client.

“Our approach sets us apart. We listen carefully to our clients from the outset, leveraging our own entrepreneurial experience to understand their needs and potential better than our competitors. We are selective in our partnerships, choosing to engage only when we see real potential – this ensures we don’t waste time, ours or our clients.” Lukas Zvala reflects comparatively.

Working closely with multiple Free Zones in the UAE, Lukas primarily concentrates on this specific jurisdiction. Since he wants to build lasting relationships and support his clients’ growth because their success benefits him, his rates are relatively inexpensive.

The dedication to clients by Lukas and his team is evident in the fact that they provide many professional services, including basic legal and tax advice, without charging for them. With a sizable European clientele, they are well-positioned to connect European talent and innovation with Gulf possibilities, to the mutual benefit of both in this age of innovation and mark their success.

Perfection Lies in the Details, We asked Lukas Zvala

The pursuit of perfection frequently requires meticulous attention to detail. It is possible to raise the general quality of services delivered by paying attention to the small details.

Speaking about perfection being in the details, he puts it, “This is my favorite phrase, and it truly captures my approach: I am detail-oriented by nature. If I undertake a task, I do it with full passion or not at all. Detail and passion, I believe, are the essential formula for success.”

Message to Gulf Leaders

Emphasizing the determination and details, Lukas reflects, “Continue to follow your visions. You have already learned and proven that nearly anything is possible with determination. Always remain humble. Always improve your services. If you decide to increase fees for people or companies, ensure there is a balancing benefit.

Paying closer attention to details can sustain your leadership and ensure not just reaching the peak, but maintaining that position as well. These insights can be key in keeping you at the forefront of progress.”

Response to Digital Transformations

A strong passion for technology has been the major driving force behind Lukas Zvala’s current position.

Since a young age, his passion for technology has shaped his personal interests and professional pursuits. Currently, he runs an advisory group and also engages in designing and producing advanced electro-optical parts for system integrators. These hi-tech components play a vital role in cutting-edge applications like robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, and global security, highlighting his dedication to technologies.

Lukas Zvala shares, “I also lead my company BAUGRUP in Europe, specializing in light gauge steel (LGS) structures engineering and manufacturing. Our focus is on modular housing solutions, including small prefabricated houses and tiny houses on wheels. We defy the conservative construction industry with our innovative approaches.

Additionally, I am leading my newest project, a fintech company based in Dubai’s DIFC. Our innovative AI-powered cloud platform aims to simplify operations for business professionals. The software will be launching later this year, supporting the Gulf region’s growing reputation as a fintech and AI hub.”

As a concluding note, he shares, “My diverse portfolio, which balances cutting-edge digital businesses with traditional industries, provides me with a comprehensive perspective on the business landscape, enhancing my effectiveness as an advisor.”

Also, in February 2024, Lukas Zvala attended the SAUDI BIG 5 CONSTRUCT exhibition in Riyadh with his European company BAUGRUP. This key event for the Middle East construction sector offered significant insights and opportunities in Saudi Arabia’s growing market.
