Established in 2010, Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD) is Abu Dhabi’s first integrated trade, logistics, industrial and free zone, offering outstanding market access, lower operating costs, and ease of doing business in the region and globally.
The industrial and free zone hub provides a spectrum of benefits including world-class transportation infrastructure with multimodal connectivity by road, ports, air and future rail networks, 100% foreign ownership in the free zone, 100% repatriation of capital and profit, potential for duty-free trade within the region, and advanced technology platforms that integrate port community systems with the industrial zone.
A subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Ports, KIZAD is strategically aligned to facilitate the UAE’s diversification agenda and supports Abu Dhabi Ports’ role as an enabler for maritime trade businesses, providing vital infrastructure and services.
Spanning 410 sqkm, KIZAD has attracted more than 200 national and international investors that represent a total investment of more than AED65 billion to date. KIZAD is witnessing keen interest from a wide array of non-oil industry sectors and companies that have chosen to set up business in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
KIZAD is intrinsically linked to Khalifa Port; one of the world's most advanced deep-sea ports and the region's first semi-automated port. The strategic joint port and industrial zone value proposition assumes a major role in the region’s manufacturing and transportation sectors.
In 2016, the 100 sqkm Khalifa Port Free Trade Zone (Khalifa Port FTZ) was introduced by Abu Dhabi Ports in response to the growing demand for free zones and to enhance the future of trade in Abu Dhabi. Located within KIZAD, it is the largest free zone in the Middle East with a growing presence of global and regional companies.
