Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
A high-level delegation from Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), led by Group CEO Ramy Jallad, concluded a successful investment roadshow in Munich, Germany. The visit aimed at deepening economic ties, expanding partnerships, and positioning Ras Al Khaimah as a strategic business destination for European companies.
The roadshow highlighted the growing synergy between Germany’s industrial strength and the UAE’s dynamic investment climate, with a focus on engaging Bavaria’s globally recognised engineering, technology, and advanced manufacturing companies.
During the visit, the RAKEZ delegation met with a diverse network of potential investors, industrial leaders, and strategic partners across Munich and the wider Bavarian region – regarded as Germany’s manufacturing and innovation hub. They provided a comprehensive overview of the economic zone’s value proposition, with a focus on investor-friendly regulations, cost-competitive industrial zones, streamlined set-up processes, and bespoke VIP investor services.
Additionally, RAKEZ hosted an exclusive VIP dinner for industry stakeholders, creating a direct platform for dialogue on cross-border business expansion, supply chain integration, and access to new markets through Ras Al Khaimah, enabling faster market entry, easier cross-border distribution, and greater cost-efficiency for manufacturers and exporters operating from RAKEZ.
These engagements also showcased how strategic trade frameworks, such as the UAE–India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, the Middle East-India-Europe Economic Corridor, and the Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement, are positioning Ras Al Khaimah as an increasingly vital gateway that connects Europe to high-growth markets across the GCC and wider Arab region.
Commenting on the visit, Jallad said, “Germany is home to some of the world’s most advanced industrial ecosystems, and Bavarian companies in particular have a strong legacy of innovation and global competitiveness. Our meetings in Munich reaffirmed the growing appetite among German investors to use Ras Al Khaimah as a strategic base for accessing high-growth markets across the Middle East and Asia. With our investor-friendly framework, personalised support services, and integrated infrastructure, RAKEZ is ideally positioned to enable their long-term expansion.”
The Munich Roadshow marks a significant step in RAKEZ’s broader strategy to welcome high-value foreign investment into Ras Al Khaimah and strengthen partnerships with leading industrial players across Europe.
