RAKEZ strengthens China ties with Suzhou and Shenzhen roadshow

A week-long RAKEZ delegation led by Group CEO Ramy Jallad deepened ties with Chinese industrial partners in Suzhou and Shenzhen, building on the free zone's THi industrial park partnership.

What happened

RAKEZ has concluded a week-long business delegation to China, led by Group CEO Ramy Jallad, with engagements across Suzhou and Shenzhen. The Suzhou leg centred on a strategic review of the free zone's growing partnership with THi, the developer behind a next-generation industrial park planned for Ras Al Khaimah aimed at high-tech and smart-manufacturing tenants. In Shenzhen, RAKEZ hosted an investment seminar bringing together a dozen enterprises for a market-entry and cross-border investment dialogue.

The trip reinforces a pattern the free zone has leaned on all year: taking Ras Al Khaimah's pitch directly to the industrial clusters it wants to attract, rather than waiting for inbound interest. Coming weeks after RAKEZ's European roadshow through Germany and Finland and its hosting of delegations from Belarus to ASEAN, the China visit signals a deliberate push to diversify RAKEZ's investor base toward East Asian new-energy, intelligent-equipment and green-construction manufacturers — sectors that align with the emirate's broader industrial diversification goals.
