ABU DHABI / WAM
ZonesCorp, the largest developer and operator of purpose-built industrial zones in the UAE, unveiled a new development designed to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises, SMEs, in Abu Dhabi.
The new zone being developed by ZonesCorp will feature 261 prefabricated, ready-to-use units covering an area of just over 300,000 square metres.
Overall, 80 percent of the units have been designated for warehousing and 20 percent light industrial units, according to Saeed Eisa Al Khyeli, Director General of ZonesCorp, who was speaking at a press conference held on the sidelines of the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit, GMIS 2017. ZonesCorp is creating a state of the art, fit-for-purpose warehouse and light industrial complex in the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi, ICAD III.
The project is strategically located in the heart of ICADIII, situated in an ideal position for SMEs to serve the existing industrial and manufacturing hub and with access to world-class transport links to serve local and international markets.
SMEs, which account for more than 94 percent of the companies and 86 percent of the total workforce in the UAE, are the chief enablers of economic diversification.
