Abu Dhabi DED Digitally Links Four Free Zones to Create Unified Database of Economic Licenses

The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED) has launched an e-link project to create a unified digital database on the economic licenses of the four free zones, WAM reports.

The project covers Masdar City Free Zone, the Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone, twofour54 Media Free Zone, and KEZAD Group, comprising 12 economic zones.

The Department also intends to use the project to complete integration with the database of the Ministry of Economy and the National Economic Registry to provide accurate, complete and instant data on existing economic licenses in the UAE.

Our digital transformation journey enables and supports an integrated and proactive digital government, facilitated through advanced and innovative solutions. Completing the e-link project and unifying commercial register will spur freezones' contribution to sustainable economic development and further enhance the ecosystem to attract investment,

Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of ADDED and the Free Zones Council, said.

Earlier this month, Added unveiled an index that would help private industrial firms adopt smart manufacturing technologies to accelerate growth and improve competitiveness.
