Международная медиа-производственная зона [IMPZ]
Международная зона медиа-производства в Дубае (IMPZ) стремится создать уникальную кластерную среду для компаний, занимающихся производством медиа в рамках всей производственно-сбытовой цепочки отрасли и со всего мира, для эффективного взаимодействия и сотрудничества.
Предоставление услуг исключительно компаниям из следующих отраслей – полиграфия, издательское дело и упаковка – IMPZ – это инициатива дальновидного правительства Дубая под патронажем материнской компании Dubai Holding.
Как главный девелопер IMPZ будет обеспечивать среду для роста за счет строительства ключевых объектов, инвестирования в инфраструктуру и формирования уникальной свободной зоны, которая включает в себя промышленные, коммерческие, жилые и общественные проекты под своей крышей. Огромный комплекс будет расположен на территории площадью более 43 миллионов квадратных футов в самом центре коммерческого Дубая.
Инициатива IMPZ является частью видения Дубая по превращению себя в глобальный медиа-центр. Таким образом, он обеспечит благоприятную для бизнеса среду, современные технологии и общественную инфраструктуру для поддержки и стимулирования роста производства средств массовой информации.
Ключевые инвестиции
IMPZ обязалась вложить примерно 280 миллионов долларов США, и ожидается, что арендаторы полиграфического и упаковочного бизнеса вложат еще 280 миллионов долларов США только в оборудование.
Irresistible Advantages
The IMPZ initiative is designed to bring a wide range of benefits to the industry. As with other free zones in Dubai, companies joining IMPZ can avail of 100 per cent ownership and will be exempted from almost all corporate and personal taxes including those for machinery, equipment, raw materials and spares utilised by the industry. Furthermore, rules governing media production have been simplified to provide maximum ease of operations. The innovative concept of creating a cluster of similar businesses in physical proximity is not a new one to Dubai, and its strategic advantages have been proven to pay off. Co-existing at a single location will enable print companies to coordinate production activities efficiently with feeder companies like machinery and equipment providers and suppliers of raw materials and spares. For small and medium-sized businesses, the time and costs involved in sourcing requirements will be considerably reduced, as they may benefit from several shared services.
Benefits offered to BP’s
- The Zone’s production cluster focusing on the printing and publishing industries will provide superior infrastructure for various activities, available as leasehold land and distinct units for printing, production and warehousing.
- Each unit will act as a complete facility for production operations with exits for loading and unloading raw materials and finished goods. The thermally-insulated production units will be made available on an annual rental basis.
- Printing companies also have the option of taking multiple units or may take a combination of both land and production units.
Strategic Location
Situated on the Emirates Road, in close proximity to the Jebel Ali port and the recently announced Jebel Ali Airport City, IMPZ’s ideal location will considerably ease imports, exports and logistics operations. The new airport, when completed, will have a handling capacity of about 120 million passengers annually along with 12 million tonnes of cargo. As for the location of Dubai at the crossroads of Asia, Europe and Africa, and with its enviable proximity to multiple markets, it has already proven its mettle as a centre for various international operations
Eco-friendly Environment
IMPZ will deploy and promote an eco-friendly industrial environment, where tested concepts and practices will be adopted to recycle waste and enable companies to utilise each others’ by-products instead of disposing them as waste. Renewable energy sources will be included in the site’s infrastructure to guarantee reliable and clean power.
Fulfilling Lifestyle
Complementing and completing the community infrastructure, IMPZ has planned several residential and commercial amenities including family apartments and low-cost accommodation for blue collar workers. Supermarkets, recreational and healthcare facilities and services like banking will also be available in the Zone
