emirates7 - Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) experienced a notable 43% rise in new business registrations during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Between January and June, 8,506 new companies joined the RAKEZ ecosystem, up from 5,933 in the first half of last year—highlighting the zone’s strong upward growth trend.
RAKEZ Group CEO Ramy Jallad attributed this surge to growing investor trust in both RAKEZ and the broader Ras Al Khaimah emirate. “This impressive growth demonstrates the global confidence in our platform and our emirate. Our efforts to foster a dynamic, supportive business environment are clearly paying off,” he stated.
He further noted that by enhancing digital services, expanding value-added offerings, establishing sector-specific hubs, and launching cost-effective packages, RAKEZ is equipping businesses—both new and established—with the tools they need to succeed. “With strategic vision, operational efficiency, and a deep commitment to sustainability, RAKEZ is well-positioned to be a key driver of the UAE’s economic future,” he added.
Most of the newly registered companies operate in sectors such as management, information and marketing consultancy, e-commerce, general trading, food and beverage, and construction materials. These industries continue to thrive thanks to RAKEZ’s streamlined procedures, modern infrastructure, competitive pricing, and business-friendly environment.
India emerged as the leading source of investors, contributing 43% of new company registrations, followed by Pakistan, the UK, Egypt, and the Philippines.
With this continued growth, RAKEZ now hosts a vibrant community of over 35,000 active businesses from more than 100 countries—cementing its status as a premier business and industrial destination in the region. RAKEZ remains dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs, driving economic progress, and positioning Ras Al Khaimah as a global hub for innovation and investment.
