Welcome!

Since our inception in 1986, at Umm Quwain Free Trade Zone, we have focused on partnerships, growth, and value. This driving force has helped us become a trusted international business hub in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region.

The UAE government has created an exceptional business climate for foreign investment, and the Umm Al Quwain emirate fully supports this national focus. Our goal is to create a sustainable industrial smart city where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fintech startups, research and development (R&D) centers, healthcare and education facilities, technology, logistics, outsourcing, construction, food processing, artificial intelligence (AI), coding, medical, information technology (IT), natural resource, and alternative energy-related industries can flourish and set up their operational and administrative offices.

Our team and leadership bring our vision of creating an uncomplicated approach to business to life. We have established a solid foundation based on simple and swift onboarding, transparent processes, and outstanding cost-effectiveness.

We are continuously expanding our infrastructure and excited to present our new inventory to investors.

Investing in UAQ FTZ is a strategic opportunity for any international business. Let's do business together!
