ZonesCorp, the Higher Corporation for Specialized Economic Zones in Abu Dhabi, will showcase its most important projects in the industrial sector at the Hannover Messe exhibition, which is considered to be the largest industrial exhibition in the world.

The exhibition will be held from April 24 to 28 and ZoneCorp will be at the UAE pavilion at the exhibition, which is led by the Ministry of Economy and the Department of Economic Development in Abu Dhabi.

ZonesCorp will showcase the new "Rahayel City" project and the Food Zones in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.

ZonesCorp is participating in the exhibition through two platforms: one is at the UAE pavilion and the second is in the car manufacturing pavilion, in which it will provide live presentations and detailed explanations on the progress of both projects as well as the promising investment opportunities they offer to local and international investors.

Saeed Eisa Al Khyeli, director general of ZonesCorp, said "ZonesCorp's participation this year in the Hannover Fair is a valuable opportunity to showcase the success of industrial sector in the emirate of Abu Dhabi to the world. ZonesCorp has played a pioneering role in the development of the sector, currently managing more than 650 industrial facilities in its economic zones, representing over 29 billion dirhams of investment. Furthermore, ZonesCorp manages 30 residential cities that accommodate more than 450,000 workers in accordance with the highest international standards".
Al Khyeli added: "We will be showcasing the recently unveiled Rahayel City Project during the exhibition. Spread over an area of 12.3 sq km, Rahayel is a best in class integrated ‘Auto Hub’ designed to accommodate the full range of auto-related businesses and supporting services underpinned by world class infrastructure. Rahayel City will serve as a focal point for all automotive related businesses in Abu Dhabi, providing a diverse and attractive range of auto-related investment opportunities. The exhibition is therefore the ideal platform to promote the project globally, encourage investment and showcase the project to major international companies wishing to invest in the growing auto sector in the UAE".

Al-Khyeli also mentioned: "As for the new food zones in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, this is a key strategic project for ZonesCorp. The emirate’s ability to produce high-quality, competitive and value-added goods, accompanied by a strong logistics network and its strategic geographic location has seen it emerge as one of the most important regional food production and processing centres. Launched at SIAL Middle East in December 2017, we have seen significant interest in the land with nearly a 3rd of the available acreage already earmarked for development.

“The Food Zones in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain encompass a total area of 2,287,434 sq m and feature a wide range of plot sizes designed to accommodate businesses of all sizes from SMEs upwards. The zones currently house 24 food production facilities that produce a wide range of products for the local and regional markets including water and cold drinks, dates and animal feed, poultry and dairy products, as well as one of the largest caviar farms in the world, he said.

Al Khyeli also said that during the exhibition, ZonesCorp will take part in the Emirates Investment Forum, a forum that brings together business leaders, industry leaders, decision-makers, investors and the media in Germany and the world to showcase the promising investment opportunities in the UAE.

The forum is organised by the Department of Economic Development which is headed by Saeed Al Mansouri, UAE Minister of Economy, and Ali Majid Al Mansouri, chairman of the Department of Economic Development in Abu Dhabi. – TradeArabia News Service
