In a landscape crowded with promises, 360Disruption has delivered something no one else has:
A transparent, data-backed, and fully interactive ranking of all UAE free trade zones — by sector, emirate, and most importantly, public trust.
📊 What We Did Differently
Unlike traditional lists that rely on marketing noise or self-promotion, our ranking is grounded in real user feedback.
We built a custom formula that weighs:
- ⭐ Google Review Rating (quality)
- 💬 Review Count (credibility)
- 📈 Logarithmic scaling to ensure fairness across new vs. established zones
Formula:Weighted Score = Rating × log(Number of Reviews + 1)
The result?
A Top 10 list you can trust, and sector-specific insights that reveal where opportunity lives — and where reputation is earned.
🔍 Key Outcomes
- RAKEZ, JAFZA, and Dubai Silicon Oasis lead with strong scores and visibility
- Sharjah’s SRTIP stands out as a rising innovation powerhouse
- Ajman Free Zone maintains high volume but shows areas for perception improvement
- Media and Tech Zones dominate public sentiment, while Logistics zones are often underrepresented despite strategic value
