Abstract
The rapid digitization of free zones in the UAE has necessitated unified platforms that transcend basic visa renewal and trade license management. This paper examines the RAKEZ 360 Portal, a proprietary digital ecosystem launched by the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ). It argues that the portal represents a shift from transactional service delivery to a holistic "Government-as-a-Platform" (GaaP) model. By integrating licensing, visa processing, facilities management, finance, and third-party business services into a single sign-on environment, RAKEZ 360 reduces administrative friction, enhances compliance, and provides real-time data analytics for decision-makers.
