RAKEZ hosted more than a dozen delegation visits this month, bringing diplomatic, government and business representatives from Belarus, Ghana, India, Belgium, Italy, Latin American and Caribbean countries, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations through the free zone. The visits follow a week-long RAKEZ roadshow to Suzhou and Shenzhen earlier in July, led by Group CEO Ramy Jallad, which deepened ties with Chinese industrial associations and companies in new energy, intelligent equipment and green construction — RAKEZ already supports close to 400 Chinese companies across recycling, LED lighting, engineering and packaging.
The breadth of the visiting delegations — spanning Eastern Europe, West Africa, South Asia, the EU, Latin America and Southeast Asia in a single month — signals RAKEZ is actively courting diversification beyond its traditional South Asian and Chinese client base, rather than simply defending existing registrations. For founders evaluating RAK against Dubai free zones, sustained inbound interest from this many distinct markets is one of the more concrete signals of the zone's addressable pipeline, even if not every delegation converts to registered entities.
