Ampsy Consultancy LLC provides end-to-end business setup, support, and advisory services in the UAE.
Masdar City Free Zone sits inside the world's first purpose-built low-carbon city, around 17 km from Abu Dhabi International Airport. It's Abu Dhabi's dedicated hub for clean energy, sustainability, climate tech, space and AI, hosting the global headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) alongside more than 1,500 companies — making it the natural base for R&D-driven and sustainability-focused ventures rather than general trading businesses.
Sector-Focused Ecosystem: A concentrated cluster of clean energy, climate tech, space and AI companies and research institutions, including IRENA and the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.
Tiered, Activity-Capped Licensing: Licence packages permit 2, 5, 10 or up to 15 business activities, so costs scale with how many activities you actually need.
100% Foreign Ownership: Full ownership and 0% import tariffs, with no local partner required.
One-Stop-Shop Support: On-site business support for licensing, visas and facility needs, rather than routing between multiple government departments.
0% Tax on Qualifying Income: Masdar City entities can qualify for 0% corporate tax under the UAE's Qualifying Free Zone Person regime.
Ampsy Consultancy manages the full Masdar City company formation process, from trade name reservation and licence selection to document preparation and bank account coordination.

No. Registration can typically be completed remotely for most licence types, with an in-person visit only required for visa activation steps such as the medical test and Emirates ID biometrics.
You'll need shareholder passport copies, proposed trade names, a description of your activities and, for R&D or lab-based businesses, a brief outline of your project.
Masdar City licenses renewable energy, clean tech and ICT, healthcare, research and R&D, business centre and data centre operations, and holding or regional headquarters activities, among others.
It depends on your package. Most licences include shared or flexi-desk office space, with dedicated offices and lab or R&D facilities available for larger and technical operations.
