Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, described the MoU signing as a significant milestone for the emirate. The Ras Al Khaimah ruler welcomed Tencent Cloud and said that the collaboration would solidify Ras Al Khaimah’s position as a technology hub.

A “free-trade zone” in the UAE is where entrepreneurs can have 100% ownership of their businesses in the country. These areas have their own regulatory frameworks and tax schemes, independent of the mainland, except for the UAE’s criminal law.


RAK DAO is a free-trade zone launched in 2023 to provide a dedicated area for virtual asset companies. The area is dedicated to virtual asset service providers focused on Web3 technologies like the metaverse, blockchain, nonfungible tokens, decentralized applications and decentralized autonomous organizations.


The UAE free-trade zone has also started collaborating with various companies in the crypto ecosystem. In July 2023, it signed an MoU with the HBAR Foundation to assist ecosystem members in leveraging the Hedera blockchain.
