A government authority. A modern platform.
Since 1995, SAIF Zone has helped over 8,500 businesses from 165 countries establish and grow in the United Arab Emirates.
A statutory authority of the Emirate of Sharjah — with a founder-first mindset.
Established in 1995 by Emiri Decree, the Sharjah Airport International Free Zone Authority operates one of the UAE's most strategically located free zones — adjacent to Sharjah International Airport with direct road access to five major ports.
Today we host manufacturers, traders, logistics companies, and service firms across 12+ industry clusters — from aerospace and pharmaceuticals to e-commerce and consulting.
Vision. Mission. Values.
Vision
To be the world's most trusted free zone — where every ambitious business can start, scale, and stay for the long term.
Mission
Deliver the fastest, most transparent path to incorporation in the UAE, backed by world-class infrastructure and government trust.
Values
Integrity. Speed. Partnership. We measure ourselves by the success of the companies that call SAIF Zone home.
"Sharjah has always chosen ambition. SAIF Zone is how we hand that ambition to the world."
Three decades ago, we opened SAIF Zone with a simple conviction: that global entrepreneurs deserve a jurisdiction that moves at their speed, without asking them to compromise on trust. That conviction still guides every decision we make.
Today, whether you are a solo founder registering your first license or a multinational scaling regional operations, our promise is the same — a fast, transparent, and permanent home for your business.
