This edition builds upon the success of the previous two forums, which generated around AED120 billion worth of local procurement opportunities in priority sectors such as pharmaceuticals, energy, telecommunications, space, healthcare, and food and beverages. These opportunities include 1,400 products identified for local manufacturing, aimed at enhancing industrial resilience and self-sufficiency through import substitution.
The agenda further includes panel discussions exploring the UAE’s industrial strategy (Operation 300bn), AI integration in industry, the UAE’s ambitions to attract investments in the space sector, and the deployment of green technology to decarbonize industry. There will also be sessions on sustainable manufacturing and the convergence of industries to accelerate smart mobility.
