The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED), has completed the e-link project with four freezones including KEZAD Group, which consists of 12 economic zones, the Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone, the Media Free Zone, Abu Dhabi (twofour54), and Masdar City Free Zone, to integrate and create a unified database of economic licenses in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The e-link with freezones helps in providing info and data on the beneficial owner of economic establishments in line with laws and regulations in the UAE and enhances the country’s status in following the highest level of international standards of transparency and governance.
In addition, the e-link project aims to complete integration with the Ministry of Economy’s database and the ‘National Economic Register’ to provide accurate, comprehensive, and instant data on the existing economic licenses in the United Arab Emirates.
