The diverse investment opportunities offered by Jafza (Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority), were highlighted during the Extraordinary Ukraine Roundtable sponsored by World Economic Forum (WEF), which was held recently in Kiev, Ukraine.
The Roundtable was designed to provide an exclusive group of participants with a first-hand view of the economic perspectives and market developments in Ukraine, and to seek areas of economic cooperation with them.
Speaking about the forum, Ibrahim Mohammed Al Janahi, Vice President – Sales, Jafza, who represented PCFC (Dubai Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation) at the event, said: "PCFC has been involved with the World Economic Forum by being a strategic partner for the event. The Roundtable provided an excellent opportunity for Jafza to network with a host of Ukrainian entrepreneurs, companies and government officials. The event helped us to raise awareness about the exciting investment opportunities on offer at Jafza, and gain a broad understanding of the possibilities of the Ukrainian market."
Ukraine has recently been reaching out to the international business community following its decision to implement economic reforms and open up the country's markets. Moreover, Ukrainian investors have been seeking to form partnerships with businesses abroad.
"Jafza's world-class infrastructure facilities and the incentives it offers, including 100 per cent ownership, a tax-free environment as well as the convenience of a port within the zone, were highlighted during face-to-face meetings with key Ukrainian business representatives," Al Janahi, who had also represented PCFC at the World Economic Forum summit held in Davos, Switzerland, earlier this year, said.
Jafza is the first free zone in the world to obtain an ISO 9001:2000 certification for high standards of customer service. Today, more than 4,500 businesses from over 110 countries, including over 140 Fortune Global 500 companies, have set up facilities at Jafza.
Jafza is one of the most preferred business hubs in the Middle East region. The range of industries at Jafza covers the whole spectrum of manufacturing, trading, distribution and services.
