Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD) has announced packages with up to 36 percent savings as relief for businesses operating in the freezone, and support SMEs challenged by the global economic slowdown.

The relief package offers both existing and prospective KIZAD Freezone customers savings of up to 25 percent on new registrations and renewals, a waiver on the security deposit and two months free on renewals for all packages registered before 30th June 2020.

Khalid Al Marzooqi, director commercial, said: “Small and medium enterprises are the backbone of any economy, and are a vital component of Abu Dhabi’s business landscape. As engines for growth and employment, SMEs are one of the main pillars of KIZAD’s business strategy.

“As one of the leading enablers of industry, it is our responsibility to provide businesses with the opportunities to be competitive in their respective markets.”

Approximately 98 percent of all companies in Abu Dhabi are SMEs, which contribute 29 percent of its GDP and 44 percent of its non-oil economy.

KIZAD’s relief package is available in three tiers, the first providing 25 percent savings on renewal or new registrations of three-years, 20 percent savings for two-year registrations and renewals, and 15 percent savings for one-year registrations.

Across all packages, new and existing customers will also benefit from having their security deposit waived.
