A message from our chairman

Her Highness Sheikha Amneh Al Qasimi guides the IDO with a commitment to sustainable growth and community involvement. She shares her perspectives on how the IDO is contributing to a positive economic environment in Ras Al Khaimah.

As Ras Al Khaimah prepares for a new phase of economic growth and social progress, it is a privilege for us at the IDO to play a leading role in the Emirate’s success. Our mandate of delivering sustainable returns for the Emirate for generations to come sits alongside our commitment to the economic, social, and environmental goals of the government.

The IDO is proud of its track record in identifying attractive investment opportunities and nurturing its portfolio entities to achieve their potential. Over the last few decades, IDO companies have been vital in building Ras Al Khaimah’s prosperity. The breadth of our portfolio, ranging from manufacturing and quarrying to tourism, real estate, and healthcare, reflects the diversity of the Emirate’s economy.

Critical to our success is the philosophy and governance structure that define the IDO. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of governance and support our portfolio companies to do the same. This enables us to benefit fully from the wealth of talent and expertise, from Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE, and overseas, that is provided by our team.

The IDO relishes the opportunities that lie ahead. We look forward to embarking on new investments that align with our values, and to helping our existing businesses continue to grow and prosper. Just as we benefit from the resources, talent, and attractive business environment that Ras Al Khaimah offers, we aim to strengthen our contribution to the Emirate’s continued success.

Chairman, Investment and Development Office
Government of Ras Al Khaimah
