With its proximity to Dubai and good connectivity, Ras Al Khaimah is quickly developing a reputation as one of the hottest investment destinations in the region, and as a tranquil and affordable place to live and work within the UAE.
The semi governmental body will have a legal character and would enjoy financial and managerial independence.

It has been able to attract close to US$ 1.2 billions of investment from all over the world, in various industry segments since inception less than 2 years ago.
