yodesh, how can you compare free zone with industrial area?..lol... Free zone (QSTP) is creature of 22nd century, it is qatari future and its pride.. industrial area is 19th century, and it is qatari shame.. forget about Free Zone, it is not for you. Hundreds of companies are in the long list to get an office in free zone. QSTP is extremely selective, only most famous companies are granted space in there. First requirement is the 'technology/research/future development' nature of your business.. companies like Microsoft, Cisco, some world known scientific environmental/health research companies are there.. and here you "reflect" whether you 'want' it or not to be there.. pathetic...
