Ras Al Khaimah: Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, in collaboration with RAK Customs, RAK Ports, and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, hosted the RAK Trade & Logistics Dialogue. Designed to open direct channels of communication between government entities and the emirate’s business community, the high-level event brought together business owners, partners, operations managers, and logistics professionals for an engaging exchange on the future of trade, logistics, and economic activity in Ras Al Khaimah.

The session welcomed representatives from the participating entities to share updates on major initiatives set to elevate the emirate’s trade ecosystem. RAK Customs outlined its strategic focus on strengthening inter-agency cooperation, improving customer experience through advisory services, and accelerating digital transformation with advanced e-customs capabilities and deeper electronic integration with other government authorities. RAK Ports highlighted the ongoing development of its SAQR 2.0 programme and the expanding logistics services designed to support seamless cargo movement. Meanwhile, Ras Al Khaimah International Airport emphasised its growing contribution to the emirate’s global connectivity and economic growth trajectory, offering attendees a first look at the new terminal’s design and showcasing its services, including its exclusive collaborations with leading logistics companies.

Participants were also briefed on a forthcoming joint incentive package being developed by RAK Customs, RAK Ports, and the airport to further empower companies operating in the emirate. The session concluded with a dedicated Q&A segment, giving attendees the opportunity to raise operational considerations, share insights, and explore practical solutions directly with senior representatives from the three entities.

Commenting on the occasion, RAKEZ Group CEO Ramy Jallad said: “We are pleased to provide a platform for our key government partners and business leaders from across our community to exchange ideas on the evolving trade and logistics landscape in Ras Al Khaimah. As the emirate continues to strengthen its position as a hub for commerce and connectivity, collaboration between the public and private sectors remains essential to shaping its next phase of growth.
