The Startup tier suits a solo founder testing an idea. Business One and Enterprise suit firms that plan to hire, need office space, or want a stronger profile with banks and government buyers.
The package price repeats every year at renewal. Visas, Emirates ID and medical tests are paid per person, on top of the package.
Masdar City Free Zone was built for clean energy, sustainability and advanced technology. It hosts more than 1,000 companies across technology, health care, mobility, clean energy and space. If your activity sits in these fields, the zone tells your bank, your investors and your clients a clear story about what you do.
This matters more each year. The UAE counted nearly 125,000 new-economy companies by mid-2026, up about 37% in one year. Renewable energy, green technology and AI sit on the government’s priority list.
