Dubai Production City Free Zone Company Setup
The printing, publishing and packaging cluster, formerly IMPZ.
The Dubai Production City free zone suits you if you print, publish or package, or if you need light industrial and warehouse space alongside an office. It is a TECOM Group cluster licensed by the Dubai Development Authority, and it was previously known as International Media Production Zone, or IMPZ.
We handle the activity, the unit or warehouse the licence needs, incorporation and the corporate bank account, and we compare it honestly against the industrial zones when that is the better fit.
What should you know about Dubai Production City?
Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.
Why set up a company in Dubai Production City?
The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where Dubai Production City is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.
Production space, not just a desk
Warehouse and light industrial units sit inside the cluster, which a tower-only district cannot offer.
The right activity
Printing, publishing and packaging are core activities here rather than exceptions requiring special pleading.
Live where you work
The district mixes residential towers with production space, which suits owner-operators.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is Dubai Production City the same as IMPZ?
Yes. It was previously called International Media Production Zone. The name changed; the cluster and its printing and publishing focus did not.
-
Can I get a warehouse in Dubai Production City?
Yes. The cluster includes light industrial and warehouse units as well as offices, which is one of the main reasons production businesses choose it.
-
Who licenses a company here?
The Dubai Development Authority, as a TECOM Group cluster, so you get 100% foreign ownership under the free zone rather than a mainland licence.
