The Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone) is set to participate in the inaugural Global Rail Transport Infrastructure Exhibition and Conference (GRTIEC), which will be held from 8-10 October at ADNEC.

The event, themed "Setting Transport Infrastructure and Global Connectivity in Motion," will feature over 150 international speakers and 100 exhibitors from around the world.

Organised by Etihad Rail in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, ADNEC, and DMG Events, SAIF Zone will use the platform to showcase Sharjah’s expanding growth opportunities, emphasising the emirate’s access to global markets, competitive services, and cutting-edge infrastructure that make it an attractive hub for business and investment.

Its strategic proximity to Sharjah International Airport and seaports strengthens its appeal as a top destination for global enterprises.

During the exhibition, SAIF Zone will highlight its logistics solutions, supporting the sector with advanced infrastructure, digital services, and streamlined communication systems, all designed to facilitate the smooth movement of goods. These services, coupled with the zone’s closeness to Sharjah International Airport, position it as a key player in reaching competitive markets in the Middle East and North Africa.

HE Saud Salim Al Mazrouei, director of SAIF Zone, stated that their participation in GRTIEC aligns with the UAE's vision of becoming a global hub for trade and business. "We will showcase our capabilities and services, which play a vital role in attracting investments and fostering economic growth in both Sharjah and the UAE," said Al Mazrouei. He further explained that the event provides an opportunity to engage with decision-makers in transportation and infrastructure sectors and introduce them to the promising prospects offered by the free zone.

Al Mazrouei added, “We are proud to be part of this global event, where we aim to reinforce SAIF Zone’s position as a preferred investment destination by presenting the unique advantages it offers to businesses seeking an integrated environment for growth.” He emphasised that the exhibition offers an ideal platform to connect with international investors and explore partnerships in key sectors such as assembly, logistics, trade, and light industry.
