Leveraging Free Zones as Centers of Innovation
Free zones are geographic government-designated zones where business, trade, and tax laws differ from the rest of the country. Known also as free economic zones, special economic zones, or free ports, depending on their structure and purpose, they provide incentives such as abated taxes and fewer regulations to encourage overseas companies to set up local…
