As a free zone entity regulated under Abu Dhabi's commercial laws, your Education & Training business will benefit from industrial powerhouse and adjacent to khalifa port. The KIZAD licensing framework is designed to accommodate both start-ups and established firms, with annual licence fees starting from approximately AED 10,000.

Why KIZAD for Education & Training?
There are several compelling reasons why Khalifa Industrial Zone continues to attract education & training entrepreneurs from around the world.
The jurisdiction offers industrial powerhouse, which is particularly valuable for education & training operations. Additionally, adjacent to khalifa port ensures that your business remains competitive in the regional market. As a free zone entity, your business enjoys complete repatriation of profits and capital, with no currency restrictions on transactions. Office solutions start from AED 12,000 per year for a office, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes. The standard licence includes a visa quota of 6 residency visas, with options to increase this number as your team grows. Massive land availability further enhances the appeal of KIZAD for education & training professionals. Furthermore, purpose-built for manufacturing positions your education & training business for long-term success in the region. With Abu Dhabi continuing to invest in infrastructure and business-friendly regulation, KIZAD remains an excellent choice for both start-ups and established education enterprises looking to expand into the Middle East and North Africa region.
