Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD), as its name implies, is a hidden industrial hub in the capital city away from the residential districts. The development, which reached the primary ports in Abu Dhabi, was formally inaugurated in 2012. The plan was to encourage international ownership while creating Abu Dhabi’s first industrial free zone. It is currently the biggest free zone in the area.

Regarding the location, the industrial park stretches into Taweelah, a greenfield area close to Khalifa Port. Additionally, the southern boundary of the business zone is delineated by Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Road, E11, and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, E311. KIZAD is roughly 67 kilometers off the mainland, situated between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. There is a lot of space occupied by commercial and industrial establishments.

The vast range of commercial establishments in this zone is indicative of its strategic significance and broad economic potential. It is expected to contribute a remarkable 15% of the non-oil GDP of the emirate, considerably boosting Abu Dhabi’s economy. Its advantageous location also guarantees easy access to major cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain, adding to its allure as a crucial hub for business and industry in the area. KIZAD allows 100% foreign ownership, making it attractive for international businesses looking to establish a presence in the UAE without the need for local partners.

Numerous businesses are located in the industrial zone. The property has drawn numerous investors seeking to launch their enterprises ever since it was first established. The main goals were to draw in foreign capital and provide local and expat residents with employment possibilities. A network of major highways and a well-managed infrastructure serve to facilitate the area. The over 1.3 million square foot warehouses located in KIZAD Logistics Park (KLP) are accessible to the logistics companies based there.
