Dafza will leverage the event’s proven track record of attracting foreign investors to highlight the freezone’s superiority as a logistics, business and investment hub.

The Dafza deals that will only be made available to official registrants of Index 2015 include a free one-month trial for the Flexi-Desk package; three months’ free office space rental for a one-year lease secured during the exhibition; and a special discount rate of Dh1,500 ($408) from the regular price of Dh1,850/sqm for 36 to 44 sqm office space leases.

Aside from promoting its one-time leasing offers for the show, Dafza will also use Index 2015 as a platform for introducing exhibitors and visitors to the freezone and its numerous benefits and incentives such as 100 per cent foreign ownership, 100 per cent tax exemption, and no customs duties.

The freezone will highlight its commitment to giving a premium feel to businesses backed by state-of-the-art facilities and exceptional customer services as well.

Asma Alfalasi, manager – Marketing and Corporate Communications, Dafza, said: “Dafza is a loyal participant at Index since it provides us with opportunities to boost our regional and international visibility due to its stature as one of the region’s largest events for the architecture and interior design industries.

“For this year’s edition we have decided to offer some exclusive packages that suit the needs of companies who want their office environments to exude luxury, class and distinction. We believe that adding elegance and style to the equation makes companies more confident and competitive.”

Dafza is capitalising on the surge in demand for well-furnished commercial spaces resulting from the region’s vibrant construction activities to offer its own strategically located business facilities.

It is also helping customers involved in related sectors such as design and architecture to expand their markets and operations further in the UAE and across the Gulf. - TradeArabia News Service
