Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD)

Approved Auditors in Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD)

The Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD) is one of the UAE's largest integrated industrial and logistics hubs, established by Abu Dhabi Ports to support the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. Spanning hundreds of square kilometres and offering direct access to Khalifa Port, KIZAD is home to companies across manufacturing, logistics, trading, oil & gas, and industrial services.

KIZAD vs KEZAD: What's the Difference?

Many businesses still refer to this zone as KIZAD (Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi), the name it has carried since its establishment in 2010. In 2022, AD Ports Group restructured KIZAD along with other industrial areas under a single umbrella brand, Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD Group).

  • KIZAD remains the specific industrial zone near Khalifa Port, known for its warehouses, logistics facilities, and industrial units.

  • KEZAD Group is now the umbrella authority overseeing KIZAD along with several other economic and industrial zones across Abu Dhabi.

For businesses, this means KIZAD is still the term widely used in trade licences, auditing, and compliance references, even though the official regulatory authority now operates under the KEZAD name. Reyson Badger's audit services cover companies under both the KIZAD and KEZAD Group structure.
