Management Start-up
Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone - Abu Dhabi

When the government of Abu Dhabi was about to set up one of the world’s largest Special Economic Zones (SEZ), they called GVE to assist them with establishing all aspects of the development and operating framework of the new Zone entity. The zone was well over 100Km2 and included a new port that in its first phase would handle 2 million TEUs and over 9 million MT per year.

GVE helped put all strategy, organization and process elements in place and set the ground work for the development of several specialized economic zones within the SEZ.  These included: base metals, heavy machinery, transport vehicle assembly, chemicals, shipyards, building materials, processed foods & beverages, light manufacturing and assembly, small and medium enterprises, trade and logistics, information & communication technology and clean tech/alternative energy.
