In this framework, companies that want to operate in the free zone by constructing their own workplaces or by renting a ready-made workplace can rent open space or ready-made workplaces in areas whose land belongs to the Treasury, and lease or purchase open space or ready-made workplaces in areas whose land belongs to the private sector.
