The government of Dubai has built Dubai South to create an environment that empowers individuals to achieve all their aspirations for the greater good of the society. Formerly known as the Dubai World Central, Dubai South Free Zone is an ambitious project by the Government of Dubai to make this free zone a largest business and aviation hub in the region. It is recognized as one of the most pioneering and exceptional projects in Dubai. The most important reason is its being host to one of the largest business events in the region – the World Expo 2020. The heart of Dubai South is just a 10-minute drive away from Jebel Ali seaport – one of the busiest ports of the world, and a 15-minute drive away from Al Maktoum International Airport – one of the largest airports in the world. It is a region that empowers everyone to achieve their ambitions and desires.

It is a gateway to the dynamic markets of the Middle East, Africa and South Asia – a region with a GDP projected to reach $12.8 trillion by 2022-23. Having such great advantages, it is safe to say that Dubai South Free Zone is one of the most sought-after free zones by investors to incorporate a business.
