The initiative provides businesses with seamless access to multiple free zones while maintaining a single licence.

This milestone underscores Dubai’s commitment to fostering an agile and investor-friendly business environment, aligning with the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.

Building on this momentum, Dubai World Trade Centre Authority (DWTCA), which operates Dubai World Trade Centre Free Zone (DWTC Free Zone), has welcomed the global luxury brand Louis Vuitton as the first company to leverage this pioneering initiative.

The global luxury leader will now maintain its warehouse operations in Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) while establishing its corporate office at One Za’abeel, part of DWTC Free Zone.

This development highlights the programme's effectiveness in streamlining business expansion across Dubai’s economic zones.

The streamlined free zone licence expansion process, completed in just five days, showcases Dubai's unparalleled efficiency in business setup and operational facilitation. This achievement aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33’s objectives of establishing Dubai as a premier global destination for business setup and expansion.
