Identity Middle East announces the opening of a new office in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), aimed at expanding the company’s operations and enhancing its ability to serve clients across the Middle East. This new office is part of Identity’s broader strategy to strengthen its regional presence and support its long-term growth objectives.
Identity is a full-service live events agency with over 20 years of experience delivering large-scale global events, including COP26, the G7 and NATO Summits, working closely with clients to create impactful experiences. Since their move to the UAE in 2023, the company has established a strong reputation in the region, delivering high-profile events such as COP28, the Dubai Business Forum for Dubai Chambers, the AVPN Global Conference and the Capital Market Summit for Dubai Financial Market.
The opening of the RAK office is expected to further strengthen Identity Middle East’s ability to provide responsive and tailored services to its clients, while also creating new opportunities for community engagement and collaboration within the region.
Dr. Ray Tinston, Managing Director of Identity Middle East, emphasised the importance of this expansion: “Ras Al Khaimah’s dynamic growth and strategic location make it an ideal base for our operations. The Emirate’s strong commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with Identity’s core values, enabling us to better serve our clients while contributing to sustainable development in the region.”
Ras Al Khaimah: A Strategic Location for Growth
Ras Al Khaimah was selected for its strategic advantages, including proximity to key markets, access to a skilled workforce and a favourable business environment. In 2023, the Emirate recorded 1.22 million overnight arrivals, with a 40% increase in international visitors, highlighting its appeal as a business and tourism destination.
The Emirate has also become a key hub for international events, hosting significant conferences such as the Arab Aviation Summit, the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Annual Summit and the World Tourism Forum Lucerne Start-Up Innovation Summit. Additionally, Ras Al Khaimah’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its Silver Certification from EarthCheck’s Sustainable Destinations, marking the first such recognition in the Middle East.
The expansion into Ras Al Khaimah aligns with Identity Middle East’s long-term vision of growth and its commitment to supporting the region’s development.
