A Strategic Push for UAE’s Industrial Competitiveness
Hosted by the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) and organised by ADNEC Group, Make it in the Emirates is a cornerstone of the UAE’s national economic vision. The platform convenes policymakers, industrial players, and investors to advance the goals of initiatives like “We the UAE 2031” and “UAE Centennial 2071.”
Since its launch, the forum has reportedly facilitated procurement and offtake agreements worth billions of dirhams. The associated In-Country Value (ICV) programme has successfully driven over AED 473 billion into the national economy, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a competitive hub for industrial investment and manufacturing.
