Business Setup in Ajman Media City Freezone 

Overview of Ajman Media City Free zone

The Ajman Media City Free Zone is the UAE's newest and fastest-growing freezone. The Ajman Media City Free Zone (AMCFZ) was established in 2018 with the primary purpose of attracting businesses from the media, entertainment, and technology industries. For entrepreneurs and professionals, the Free Zone offers low-cost business creation options with quick turnaround times.

When many of us think of the UAE, Ajman may not be the first emirate that comes to mind. The little emirate, on the other hand, has a lot to offer and is more than capable of competing with its more well-known neighbours as a place to do business.

Ajman, like the rest of the Emirates, is quite open for business, embracing multinational businesses from all over the world. Because it is so well connected by land, air, and sea, the emirate is particularly ideally suited to firms in the import and export trade.

Ajman is also close to two international airports, Dubai International Airport and Sharjah Airport, as well as four significant seaports, including Ajman Port, Port Khalid, Port Rashid, and Khorfakkan Port. Ajman has excellent connections to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran, Bahrain, Europe, and Kuwait, in addition to the UAE.

The free zone's main concentration, as its name suggests, is the creative sector. The government of Ajman hopes to attract established and new age media enterprises from across the area and beyond, thanks to the success of Dubai Media City and other media-specific zones in the UAE. It has formed deals with regional powerhouses in India and the Greater Middle East from the start.
