Masdar City Free Zone (MCFZ) has expanded its international footprint with the opening of its first representative office in China, a bold step that reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a global hub for innovation and sustainable economic growth.

In collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), this milestone was marked by the signing of key strategic landmark Memorandums of Understanding during a high-profile roadshow in Suzhou and Beijing, strengthening economic, technological, and sustainability ties between the UAE and China, and supporting the UAE's Falcon Economy vision.

Home to over 2,000 companies from more than 90 countries, Masdar City Free Zone is a recognised business hub in Abu Dhabi, focused on sustainable growth, clean technology, and a testbed for innovation, across high-impact sectors including artificial intelligence, clean technology, life sciences, smart mobility, agritech, and space technology.

The expansion into China builds on Masdar City's mission to attract Foreign Direct Investment, accelerate technology transfer, and create new opportunities for collaboration between two of the world’s leading centres of innovation.

The Masdar City Free Zone China representative office inauguration in Suzhou Industrial Park was the centerpiece of a week-long UAE-China business roadshow, jointly organised with A&A Associates and supported by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office.

The roadshow brought together Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies, government officials, investors, and industry leaders in Al, biotech, robotics, and sustainable mobility.
