Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, the event will take place from 30 September to 2 October at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).

Global Rail 2025 will bring together key decision-makers, industry thought leaders, and experts to discuss the future of transport systems, examine innovative financing models, and drive the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.

At the event, organised by Etihad Rail in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, ADNEC, and DMG Events, the Sharjah free zones will showcase a diverse portfolio of investment opportunities tailored for companies in the transport, logistics, and infrastructure sectors.

In addition, participants will learn about the advanced infrastructure, integrated services, specialised customs and logistics facilities that these zones offer, positioning companies to expand operations and gain enhanced access to regional and international markets.

During the three-day exhibition, the two free zones will highlight their pivotal role in supporting the UAE's logistics sector.
