Trade officials from Ras Al Khaimah are looking for potential investors, particularly from the small and medium sector, for investing in the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone.

With an initial investment as low as Rs 2.3 lakh, investors can set up an office in the UAE.

The trade officials will be holding interactive sessions and consultative meetings with potential investors at a three-day meet in Kochi from April 18-20, a press release issued here said.

Huge potential
