By means of a presentation, Free Zone Aruba elaborated on the export possibilities that Aruba has to offer and how closely Free Zone Aruba (FZA) is linked with the macro-economic policy of the Government of Aruba: “The Green Gateway”. After the presentation, the entrepreneurs were very optimistic about the possibilities that the “Green Gateway “offers . The  Q&A session varied from operational costs to the possibilities of using Aruba as a hub for the region, as well as the US and the EU.

 

Besides Free Zone Aruba, Aruba Investment Agency (ARINA), Aruba Trade & Industry Association (ATIA) and the Department of Economic, Affairs Commerce and Industry (DEACI) also gave presentations highlighting the advantages in doing business in and with Aruba.
