On Wednesday, February 18, the Topic: North Texas webinar series presented by Verizon welcomed Nadia Rinawi all the way from Germany to talk about the RAK Free Trade Zone in the UAE. Traditionally, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been viewed as a gateway to not only the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets, but also those of the surrounding countries and regions, like Iraq, South Asia and East Africa, which have a steady demand for infrastructure development projects and growing middle classes. One of the seven emirates that make up the UAE, Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) is only a 45-minute drive from Dubai. RAK Free Trade Zone is one of the fastest-growing, most cost-effective free zones in the Middle East and rapidly emerging as the preferred business hub in the region. It provides an excellent infrastructure, a tax-free environment, customized business solutions, hassle-free procedures, value-added services and all the facilities that you expect from a world-class free zone. Over 500 US companies already registered in RAK Free Trade Zone.

Logistics efficiency makes the UAE the best
positioned country to enable companies to enter
emerging markets.
Reducing supply chain barriers to trade could
increase GDP up to six times more than
removing tariffs. The effects of reducing
barriers are not gradual; changes occur when
tipping points are reached.

▸ Promotes investment growth
▸ Provides financing opportunities
