Abu Dhabi and Umm Al Quwain
Khalifa Industrial Zone (KIZAD) Free Zone
The Khalifa Industrial Zone otherwise known as KIZAD is a visionary project by the Abu Dhabi government to revolutionize the Industrial sector of the emirate.
KIZAD project was revealed in November 2010 by Abu Dhabi Ports and officially began its operations in September 2012. With it’s prime location in Taweelah, Abu Dhabi, the government set up this multi-billion dollar industrial park with an aim to achieve economic diversification by 2030. This industrial park has two (2) vital elements which attract foreign investors: one is its geographical location and the other its low operating cost.
KIZAD free zone in Abu Dhabi occupies a 417 square-kilometer area strategically located halfway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. KIZAD is divided into 2 areas, Area A and Area B. While area A is focused on businessmen operating in the industrial sector, Area B is taken by commerce-based companies.
KIZAD gives freedom for both free zone based companies as well as non-free zone-based companies. While the non-free zone-based companies come under the Abu Dhabi Companies Act, the free zone companies are registered under the Abu Dhabi Free Zone Authority’s regulations.
