SUMMARY :

Masdar City is widely recognized as one of the world’s most exciting eco-developments. The free zone was recently voted the 2016 Best Free Zone for R&D Partnerships and one of the Best Middle East Free Zones for Start Ups and Large Companies by fDi Magazine.

Masdar City is open to a wide range of business categories including Renewable Energy, Marketing and Events, Human Resources Development, Property Development Services, Data Centres, Retail, Food and Beverage outlets, and Oil and Gas Services. The free zone is open to new Free Zone LLCs and branches of existing local or foreign businesses.

There are a number of lease options available at Masdar City, from office and retail space – both fully fitted and shell and core – to design-construct-lease packages and open land. Masdar City’s prime location and easy setup process are the two major factors behind its popularity. The free zone offers a “one-stop shop” service for registration and visa processing and is in close proximity to Abu Dhabi International Airport, Downtown Abu Dhabi and the neighbouring emirate of Dubai.
