Global Competitive Advantage
HE Saud Salim Al Mazrouei emphasized that the growth in company investments within the free zone mirrors the high quality and efficiency of the services offered. He attributed HFZA’s status as a premier global investment destination for specialized industries to the wise vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
His Excellency stated, “The expansion of our clients’ investments and their activities from Sharjah to international markets signifies the competitive advantages we provide in terms of services, strategic location, and our attentiveness to investor needs. This not only enhances their business but also supports their growth and development. We are committed to this approach and will spare no effort to offer all necessary facilities to prioritize the interests of our customers.”
Business-friendly environment
For his part, Haxer Ali, Chief Executive Officer of Technomak, said, “We chose Hamriyah Free Zone as our primary hub due to Sharjah’s strategic geographical location, the state-of-the-art infrastructure available, and the favourable policies and legal regulations that support business growth.”
He added, “Our decision to expand in HFZ was also influenced by the business-friendly economic conditions, the emirate’s proximity to key regional and global markets, and the easy access to skilled labor. These factors contributed to our decision to enhance our global service capabilities and meet our clients’ project requirements effectively.”
