The International Free Zone Authority (IFZA) is broadening its international reach, emphasizing its commitment to supporting the growth of the UAE economy. Martin G. Pedersen, the Chairman of IFZA, highlighted that Dubai is increasingly viewed as a launchpad for global entrepreneurs, bolstered by the UAE’s top ranking in the Global Entrepreneurship Index of 2022, where it surpassed countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.

Pedersen pointed out that the IFZA prioritizes social responsibility and inclusion, which is central to its ethics and value code. This commitment ensures that the organization not only focuses on economic expansion but also enhances the social fabric of the communities it serves.

Additionally, IFZA is dedicated to being a partner-oriented organization. According to Pedersen, selecting the right business partner is crucial for ensuring start-up success. The supportive ecosystem provided by Dubai’s free zones plays a vital role in facilitating this growth, reflecting the importance of collaboration in the entrepreneurial landscape.
