The emirate of Ajman is unique as a business location. It has the advantage of a highly strategic geographical location at close proximity to Dubai and Sharjah, combined with deep roots in cultural and traditional values. Ever since the 1980s, the government has been leading the charge to transform the emirate into a vibrant and friendly business destination through visionary policies and transformative ideas. One of the first steps to this goal was the establishment of a Free Zone that offered enterprises from across sectors a safe and growth-oriented place to conduct their business.
