Jafza, the trade
catalyst, has evolved into a unique trade ecosystem that reduces cost, while
enabling new opportunities for growth.
From our humble
beginnings in 1985, as part of the vision of His Highness Sheikh Rashid Bin
Saeed Al Maktoum, we have matured into an ever expanding business platform that
is ready for today. We have grown from a small operation of just 19 companies
into a thriving business community with over 7,100 companies that continues to
expand.
Our customers grew to 500
in the first decade of operation, with that number doubling in half that time.
In the past decade, Jafza has achieved fourfold growth in its number of
customers.
Today, Jafza is a dynamic
base for thousands of businesses, from over 100 countries, sustaining over
135,000 jobs and attracting more than 20% of the UAE’s foreign direct
investment; all the while exceeding 50% of Dubai’s total exports, with an
phenomenal value for trade of $69 billion.
