Ras Al Khaimah: The Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone Authority (RAK FTZA) has launched a new portal for the free zone during this year's Gitex.
The new design, consistent with the free zone's progressive approach to business and development, features vastly-improved navigability, an internal search engine, and a comprehensive business FAQ section that will explain everything business representatives need to know about setting up a business in the UAE, and particularly in Ras Al Khaimah.
"Our priority is always the clients. With this web design overhaul, we have made substantial changes to the site's content that will make looking for and viewing information very easy," said Osama Al Omari, CEO and director-general of RAK FTZA.
"To achieve maximum efficiency, we conducted studies of similar websites as well as a survey of our clients' needs. The new RAK FTZ website will host an interactive business forum where businessmen and their clients can exchange views regarding the business climate in the UAE - among other business-related topics," he added.
The new website will also contain unique information particular to the country like factsheets, statistical data and charts pertaining to location, culture, business environment, setting up companies and visa regulations.
The new website also allows RAK FTZ clients to access online trading modules and a direct link to client services provided by the zone to make services as smooth and easy as possible.
