RAK Rebrands as Innovation City, First AI-Powered Free Zone
Ras Al Khaimah Digital Assets Oasis (RAK DAO) has officially rebranded as Innovation City (INC), opening a new chapter for the emirate and the wider region. The initiative is designed to position Ras Al Khaimah as a hub for technology and innovation companies while supporting entrepreneurs, creators, and visionaries to shape future industries.
Innovation City focuses on five strategic pillars: Web3 and digital assets, artificial intelligence, gaming and iGaming, robotics, and healthtech with digital health. By concentrating clusters of innovators and builders, the project aims to create a thriving ecosystem for emerging industries.
The World’s First AI-Powered Free Zone
Innovation City will operate as the world’s first AI-powered free zone. Its regulatory frameworks, services, and support systems are enhanced with artificial intelligence to streamline business processes, foster growth, and attract enterprises.
The initiative also involves developing dedicated land in Ras Al Khaimah into infrastructure tailored for technology companies. This approach positions the emirate as both a beacon and a global testbed for innovation, while aligning with national goals of economic diversification and sustainable development.
Positioning Ras Al Khaimah as a Global Hub
By combining AI integration with forward-thinking regulation and advanced infrastructure, Innovation City seeks to attract top global talent and pioneering companies. Furthermore, the emirate offers modern amenities, access to Dubai, and a lifestyle enriched by natural landscapes and cultural heritage.
With these advantages, Innovation City aims to serve as the Middle East’s launchpad for next-generation companies. The initiative represents not only a free zone but also a platform designed to drive global-scale innovation for decades to come.
