The Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) has announced that it will have a strong presence at Gitex Dubai 2005, the premier IT exhibition in the region, which will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from September 25-29, 2005.
At Gitex, Jafza will highlight its state-of-the-art infrastructure and world-class facilities, and will also bring to the attention of potential investors the host of incentives it offers companies setting up operations in the free zone.
“Being the premier event of its kind in the region, Gitex brings together all major companies across the IT spectrum under one roof. This presents Jafza an excellent networking platform to interact with enterprises who might be interested in investing in the business-friendly environment of the free zone.
