Expands its global outreach beyond its 10 regional offices
Assembled online with the Chairman and members of the Board of the World Free Zones Organization (World FZO), 37 entities signed on recently as volunteer national contact points (NCPs) in their respective countries to help the World FZO spread knowledge of free zone best practices and World FZO solutions farther across the globe.
The more than 3,000 free zones around the world channel a third of global trade and employ almost 70 million people. They cater to multiple industries and form a complex web of trade hubs and specialized industry platforms that connect together along Global Value Chains.
The World FZO was created to help these free zones network with each other and access best industry practices through tailored tools and instruments. It has done this with a combination of regular events and physical presence in 10 countries through regional offices.
“This is an important role at the national level and in collaboration with our regional offices and Ambassadors, that will help further strengthen the global impact of our work,” explained) Dr. Mohammed Alzarooni, Chairperson, World FZO.
The NCPs primary role will be support in collection of data for case studies and country, development and coordination of local training seminars and facilitation of several stakeholder surveys.
