This year’s event marks the 10th anniversary of the World FZO

among the largest in World FZO’s history, contributing
significantly to its ongoing success.
The 10th edition will gather representatives from economic zones
worldwide, reflecting the World FZO’s commitment to advancing the
crucial role in global trade played by economic zones, through
which more than a third of global trade flows. The event will
emphasise the impact of these zones in supporting national
economies, facilitating trade exchanges, boosting commercial
transactions, driving the digital economy, attracting foreign
investments, and supporting other economic sectors.
Dr. Mohammed Al-Zarooni, Chairman of the World FZO, said:
“Hosting the 10th World FZO World Congress reflects Dubai’s
commitment to actively contribute to the development of the global
system of economic zones, which serve as the backbone of
international trade in our current era. This aligns with the
Dubai’s drive to double its foreign trade to reach AED 25 trillion
and its goal to establish trade corridors with 400 new cities
worldwide by 2033, in accordance with Dubai Economic Agenda (D33)
and its ambitious targets.
“Organizing the event in Dubai offers a renewed opportunity to
present in-depth visions and anticipate the future of the economic
zones sector globally. It fosters constructive and fruitful
discussions among all stakeholders on ways to facilitate business,
connect various markets, and provide customers with cost-effective
processes.”
