Ras Al Khaimah has become one of the UAE’s most strategically placed and future-oriented emirates, known for its stable economy, and rising appeal to global investors. As part of this transformation, Ras Al Khaimah Digital Assets Oasis has been rebranded and relaunched as Innovation City, a strategic initiative aimed at positioning the emirate as a leading regional and global hub for technology, entrepreneurship, and investment.
A strategic vision for the future
One of the defining features of Innovation City is its status as the world’s first AI-powered free zone. Artificial intelligence will be embedded across regulatory frameworks, services, and support systems to streamline company setup, improve operations, and accelerate growth. From automated licensing to smart compliance and data-driven decision-making tools, AI will enhance every stage of the business journey.
Innovation City is designed around five core pillars:
- Web3 & Digital Assets
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Gaming & iGaming
- Robotics
- Healthtech & Digital Health
By concentrating these sectors within one ecosystem, the initiative seeks to create a high-density cluster of technology companies and innovators, fostering collaboration and global competitiveness.
Innovation City will build spaces and infrastructure specifically for technology companies, helping Ras Al Khaimah become a place where new industries can be tested and developed. It will combine smart rules, AI tools, and a supportive community to attract top global innovators.
According to leadership, the goal is not just to attract companies, but to shape entire industries and place Ras Al Khaimah on the global innovation map for decades to come.
Strategic location and lifestyle advantage
Ras Al Khaimah offers a unique value proposition:
- Proximity to Dubai and other major cities
- Access to modern amenities and logistics networks
- Rich natural landscapes, heritage sites, and a high quality of life
This balance makes RAK an appealing base for founders and investors looking for growth without sacrificing lifestyle.
The road ahead
Innovation City aims to become the Middle East’s leading hub for technology, entrepreneurship, and digital industries. By combining AI-driven infrastructure, it intends to serve as a launchpad for the next generation of high-impact companies.
