RAK FTZ backs French business networking event

RAS AL KHAIMAH, October 21, 2015

Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone (RAK FTZ) has backed a networking event being organised by Business France, the French Business Development Agency, during the ongoing Gitex Technology Week 2015.
 
The move has been aimed to promote RAK FTZ to the French exhibitors and attendees and offer them valuable insights about the investment opportunities in the UAE, said a statement.
 
Tomas Csobonyei, business development director, RAK FTZ, said: "We are delighted to partner with Business France, the French Business Development Agency, an organisation that helps develop French businesses and assists them in expanding abroad. This event opens up a great opportunity to meet and encourage French businesses to set up regional offices in the UAE, particularly in RAK FTZ.
 
"We offer an extensive set of advantages to French investors. Apart from the freedom from taxes and customs duty as well as access to major logistical centres, investors choosing RAK FTZ get to experience top-notch business infrastructure that is matched with exceptional client support services. We are keen in developing ways to nurture companies and helping them become booming enterprises."
 
With over 8,000 flourishing companies in its portfolio, RAK FTZ is continuously gaining the attention of French investors. There are presently almost 300 French companies thriving in the free zone's business-friendly environment. 
 
Among them are Arnolfo di Cambio, a company that trades in table top and textile products; Permagard, a company that manufactures paint protection and cleaning products for marine, aviation and automobiles; and Eurocap, a business that manufactures plastic packaging items.
 
P Haridas, manager of Eurocap, said: "We had visited many free zones and were impressed by the professional approach of the team in RAK FTZ . They were very supportive and were always available to provide us with assistance." - TradeArabia News Service
