Abu Dhabi Free Zone
Understanding Abu Dhabi Free Zones
An Abu Dhabi free zone is a designated business jurisdiction in the emirate with its own licensing and company formation framework. Abu Dhabi has several specialised free zones serving financial services, industrial and logistics businesses, media and creative companies, aviation, technology and sustainability-focused sectors.
The existing DXB VIP page highlights Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Industrial City of Abu Dhabi, Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi, twofour54 Abu Dhabi Media Zone, ZonesCorp, Masdar City Free Zone and Abu Dhabi Airport Free Zone as key options.
Setting up a company in Abu Dhabi free zone can be suitable for a new venture, an expansion into the UAE, or a regional headquarters, depending on the activity, office requirements and market the business intends to serve.
