UAE free zones play a crucial role in attracting foreign businesses by allowing 100% ownership without local partners, tax exemptions, and simplified licensing. Popular zones include Dubai Internet City for tech startups, DIFC for finance, and Masdar City for renewable energy ventures. These free zones offer sector-specific support, helping businesses scale quickly and tap global markets. The ease of setting up in free zones has contributed significantly to the UAE’s rising foreign direct investment and its recognition as a global business hub. Entrepreneurs find these zones ideal for innovation and expansion.
