Ownership options in KIZAD

KIZAD is the first industrial zone in the region that offers dual-licensing, that is, both Free Zone and Non – Free Zone licenses. Entities established in KIZAD can apply for and obtain on-shore branch licenses from the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, without the need for a local sponsor and office space.

This allows for companies to take advantages of the benefits offered by free zone licensing, as well as cater to the Abu Dhabi market, and the UAE market in general.
