Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) will spotlight the emirate’s fast-growing manufacturing sector at Make it in the Emirates 2025, taking place from May 19 to 22 at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi.
As one of the UAE’s leading industrial events, the forum gathers key government entities, investors, and manufacturers to drive forward national industrial and export objectives. DET’s participation aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to position Dubai as a global hub for advanced manufacturing and future-ready industrial investment.
The Dubai Pavilion will feature major industrial stakeholders including Dubai Industrial City, National Industries Park, Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority, Dubai Chambers, and Dubai South. Together, they will showcase the emirate’s integrated approach to industrial growth, highlighting business incentives, export support, and world-class infrastructure.
In 2024, Dubai’s manufacturing sector recorded AED28.3 billion in GDP and attracted AED5.8 billion in foreign direct investment—more than double the previous year. DET will present key initiatives at the forum, including the Export Assistance Programme, the Elite Buyer Programme, and the Industry Friendly Power Policy, which supports green and cost-efficient energy use in industrial sectors.
Hadi Badri, CEO of the Dubai Economic Development Corporation, said Dubai’s manufacturing rise reflects years of strategic planning, public-private collaboration, and smart regulation.
“This is a market where manufacturers can innovate, scale, and export with confidence,”
he noted.
With over 1,100 Greenfield projects and a record AED52.3 billion in FDI last year, Dubai’s industrial sector continues to attract global attention. The emirate’s presence at Make it in the Emirates reinforces its commitment to economic diversification and global competitiveness.
