“We want the new business owners to receive significant cost advantage and make it easier for them to set up a new business in UAE. This decision is one of the several advantages we offer to support the creative, media and entertainment industry,” he added.
Ajman Media City Free Zone is also entering into strategic alliances with organisations in key markets such as India and Egypt in its first phase.
Mahmoud Khalil Al Hashemi, executive director of Ajman Media City Free Zone, said: “In India, we have successfully created long term alliance with two of the largest media conglomerates, Times of India and Hindustan Times. A memorandum of understanding is signed with The Hindustan Times already and the second MoU with the Times of India group will be finalised soon.
“As part of the collaboration, AMCFZ will identify value propositions, projects and events that can be localised for the UAE market and be brought to Ajman.”
He said Egypt is also a key market and a MoU has been signed with Media Public Free Zone, one of the oldest media free zones in the Middle East region.
Another significant partnership has been signed with Egyptian Media Production City, he added.
