A top-level delegation from Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) has concluded its trip to China, where it effectively engaged with numerous investors across five major cities with the exceptional benefits of expanding businesses to Ras Al Khaimah.
The RAKEZ team interacted with prominent Chinese business owners operating in a diverse range of sectors, including master developers, leading business and science parks, information technology, electronics, engineering, and automotive companies.
With a diplomatic relationship dating back 39 years to 1984, China has emerged as the UAE’s largest non-oil trading partner. As the two allies seek to boost their bilateral trade to $200 billion by 2030, this is a prime time for Chinese investors to explore business avenues in the fast-growing economy of the UAE.
During their extensive tour, the RAKEZ delegation traveled through Shanghai, Suzhou, Qingdao, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Foshan, and Zhuhai, strategically showcasing the diverse investment opportunities available in Ras Al Khaimah while providing an overview of its thriving economy.

We are looking forward to supporting them in their business growth journeys.”
Currently, RAKEZ is home to nearly 200 Chinese companies, including SMEs and industrial entities, primarily engaged in activities such as manufacturing equipment, lighting, medicine, wool, machinery and packaging materials, recycling, education, eCommerce, general trading, and a variety of commercial services.
