The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) will take part in the big event called ‘Make it in the Emirates,’ which will happen from May 19 to May 22, 2025, at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi. This event focuses on the manufacturing sector and shows how important it is for the country’s growth.

‘Make it in the Emirates’ is one of the biggest industrial events in the UAE. It brings together government groups, investors, and companies that make products. The goal is to help the UAE grow its industry and increase exports. DET’s involvement supports Dubai’s plan called the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to make Dubai a top place for modern industrial businesses and future investments.

At the event, there will be a special area called the Dubai Pavilion. This pavilion will bring together important groups that help industries grow in Dubai, such as Dubai Industrial City, National Industries Park, Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority, Dubai Chambers, and Dubai South. This teamwork gives current manufacturers and new investors a chance to get useful information and find new opportunities. It helps them understand why Dubai is a great place for industrial businesses to grow and succeed.

Dubai’s manufacturing sector is very important for its economy. The government supports this sector through many projects that help it compete worldwide and keep growing. Dubai has attracted many new investments for manufacturing. Its strategy focuses on using advanced technology and building local skills to serve customers all over the world. In the first nine months of 2024, Dubai’s manufacturing sector made a GDP of AED 28.3 billion.

Hadi Badri, the CEO of Dubai Economic Development Corporation (DEDC), which is part of DET, said, “Dubai’s manufacturing is growing fast because we have created the right conditions for long-term growth. We have strong infrastructure, smart rules, and access to markets worldwide. What we see today is the result of careful planning, teamwork between the government and private companies, and clear goals under wise leadership and the D33 plan. This is a place where manufacturers can create new ideas, grow bigger, and export with confidence.”

He also said, “Our role in ‘Make it in the Emirates’ shows how DET supports the UAE’s plan to have a diverse economy. It also shows how we support the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology’s goal to strengthen Dubai’s industry.”

During the event, DET will explain how Dubai’s industrial setup gives manufacturers easy access to top infrastructure, business benefits, and help for exporting goods. Today, companies based in Dubai supply important products to the UAE government and export to over 130 countries. They use trade agreements called CEPAs to enter fast-growing markets in a competitive way.

DET will also introduce some special programs to help the industrial sector. One is the Export Assistance Programme (EAP), which helps Dubai companies sell their products in other countries. This program supports small and medium-sized businesses through a network of offices abroad.

Another program is the Elite Buyer Programme, which aims to make Dubai a top center for buying products in fast-growing markets. The pavilion will also talk about the Industry Friendly Power Policy. This new policy supports using green and cost-saving energy in factories, data centers, and agriculture technology. It offers benefits like a 25% discount on connection fees, interest-free loans, and support for fully using renewable energy on site. This matches Dubai’s goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions.

In 2024, Dubai attracted AED 52.3 billion (about $14.2 billion) in foreign direct investment (FDI), which is 33.2% more than the year before. This is the highest amount ever recorded in one year. Dubai also saw a record number of new FDI projects, with 1,117 new projects and 1,826 announced projects, creating 58,680 jobs. Manufacturing continued to grow strongly with AED 5,767 million ($1,571.4 million) in FDI, which is more than double compared to AED 2,411 million ($657.1 million) in 2023. These numbers show how strong Dubai’s business environment is, supported by excellent infrastructure and friendly rules.

‘Make it in the Emirates’ is an important event to help the UAE’s manufacturing sector grow. It encourages new ideas and investment. As the UAE works to make its economy more diverse, Dubai stays a leader by supporting the industrial sector and helping it meet global standards while adding to the country’s economic success.
