International Humanitarian City (IHC) Free Zone Company Formation

Introduction – Free Zone Focus

The International Humanitarian City (IHC) was created in 2003 by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai.

IHC is an aid and humanitarian hub offering its services and facilities to the global operations of humanitarian organizations and commercial suppliers to assist the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian operations. IHC welcomes humanitarian organisations and commercial entities from all over the world.

It is now the biggest and busiest global humanitarian hub and logistics centre for humanitarian aid in the world. It boasts nine UN agencies and about 65 nonprofit organisations, intergovernmental organisations and commercial entities.

IHC is a non-profit, independent free zone authority. It is a non-political, non-religious organization.

IHC is unique as it is the only free-zone designated to humanitarian response in the world. IHC’s vision is to be the largest and most efficient global humanitarian hub in logistics, innovation and collaboration in the world.

The IHC is amongst the 28 entities making up the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, which is the largest development foundation in the Middle East. It is a platform that enables its members, together with aid agencies, to organize fundraising activities. The IHC facilitates the delivering of humanitarian aid to crises and disaster victims and relieving the suffering of those living in poverty and suffering from hunger.

The IHC has unique transport and logistics advantages both in terms of air and maritime transport. The IHC is strategically located as Dubai is within eight hours by air to over 60% of the world’s population. IHC has the broadest geographical reach stretching from the MENA region to Asia, America and Africa.

IHC is located 18 km from the new Al Maktoum Airport and 21 km from Jebel Ali Port, which is the world’s largest man-made port. IHC’s members are able to move shipments from sea to air in 10 minutes.

IHC has organized the delivery of supplies to some of the worst crises of the past 10 years, such as the:

• 2010 Haiti earthquake
• Wars in Gaza
• Syrian refugee crisis in Jordan
• Ebola epidemic in West Africa
• Nepal earthquake
