The Emirati industrial footprint expands as nine new suppliers joined ‘Go to UAE’, an initiative enabled by Tawazun Council and supported by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT).
The initiative, launched by Thales, is poised to bolster its commitment to supporting local production and fostering economic growth in the country.
Thales expands supplier network with UAE-based companies like Halcon Systems, EPI, Al Shurooq, etc., enhancing supply chain reliability and efficiency. Rigorous evaluation ensures international standards and sustainability. This move integrates UAE suppliers into Thales's global supply chain, providing growth opportunities and industry recognition for local businesses.
Thales implements 'Go to UAE', aiding UAE suppliers' performance and competitiveness via a training plan. Launched at Make it in the Emirates forum, it's a collaboration with Tawazun Council and MoIAT, aligning with Tawazun Economic Programme goals.
The third edition of the Make it in the Emirates Forum, hosted over two days at the Abu Dhabi Energy Center, is launched under the theme “Invest. Innovate. Grow”. In partnership with Abu Dhabi Economic Department and ADNOC, the forum brings together the largest industrial companies and enablers from across the UAE to share their procurement plans and significant investment opportunities, and to discuss how these translate into local manufacturing investment opportunities. The participating companies prioritise local products and invest in UAE-based manufacturing and production through innovative programs, such as Thales’ GO to UAE.
Roque Carmona, SVP Group chief procurement at Thales, said,
“We are excited to welcome these exceptional suppliers into our network. Their addition not only reaffirms our commitment to supporting local industrial growth but also reflects our dedication to investing in new partnerships, fostering innovation, and driving sustainable growth. We are confident that by collaborating with local suppliers, we will further enhance our ability to deliver innovative solutions to our customers while contributing to the prosperity of the local economy.”
