The Free Trade Zones in Dubai and the UAE were established in order to attract foreign investors to the country and to develop the business relationships of the United Arab Emirates with other countries.
The UAE boasts a multitude of free zones. The choice of the right free zone depends on the type of activity to be carried out and requirements in terms of facilities.
Dubai was the first Emirate to pioneer the free zone model offering foreign businesses attractive concessions and a number of investment incentives including 100 percent ownership of a subsidiary and zero taxation.
