The rapid digitization of free zones in the UAE has necessitated unified platforms that transcend basic visa renewal and trade license management. This paper examines the RAKEZ 360 Portal, a proprietary digital ecosystem launched by the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ). It argues that the portal represents a shift from transactional service delivery to a holistic "Government-as-a-Platform" (GaaP) model.
