Jebel Ali Free Zone (or Jafza), DP World's flagship free zone and the largest customs bonded zone in the Middle East, has won the Most Inspiring Logistics Hub 2023 Award at the TLME Inspiration Awards 2023 held in Dubai and presented by Dubai One TV's Katie Jensen.
Jafza has stood out as the most inspiring logistics hub in the Middle East region that has set the standards for the rest of the world to follow in terms of smart, technologically advanced warehousing, ease of setting up and doing business and simplified and digitalised customs procedures.
From 19 companies in 1985, the free zone grew to 500+ businesses in 1995 and, today it has over 8,700, including 100+ Fortune Global 500 companies.
Jafza offers an unrivalled ecosystem that has allowed it to grow over the last three to four decades, just as its proximity to Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport, and Expo 2020 Dubai has helped it to become an ideal hub for global trade and a well-integrated business setup solution provider.
