He added that the integration approach between its economic regions is considered an essential factor in enhancing its role in supporting the national economy and building a system that serves all strategic sectors and contributes to enhancing the competitive capabilities of the Emirate of Dubai.
Al Matroushi pointed out that, in this context, the Authority and its economic zones periodically launch many initiatives and programs that provide investment and economic benefits and incentives to the various types of companies in which they are based, including American companies that are considered an essential part of the corporate system within the free zone.
