Dubai Airport Freezone enters metaverse by launching METADAFZ in line with Dubai’s Metaverse Strategy

DUBAI – Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZ), part of Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), is set to announce the launch of METADAFZ, which aims to provide the free zone’s clients with a smooth digital experience in the metaverse.

DAFZ will make the official announcement at GITEX 2022, which will take place from October 10-14 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

The launch of this initiative aligns with the directives of Dubai’s Metaverse Strategy, which was announced by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, to advance Dubai’s metaverse economy. The initiative aims to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and businesses to the free zone, by uncovering DAFZ’s unique offerings, products, and solutions to advance the Emirate’s leading position as a hub for competitive and constructive technology.

METADAFZ will enable clients from across the globe to conduct meetings via a virtual platform, offering a unique and semi-realistic experience regardless of the physical location. The innovative initiative offers an alternative to the traditional way of conducting business activities, and empowers company representatives to discuss future work prospects, as well as how to launch businesses and projects in Dubai.
