The Biggest Manufacturing Conference
The biggest challenge
for manufacturers today
is to gain the expertise
that would help them
transform their manufacturing
strategies that shape the future
outlook of the economy. It is
paramount to discover the
most capable combination
of technology innovation and
workflow optimization in realtime.
According to Sultan Bin
Saeed Al Mansouri, the UAE
economy minister, UAE is
aiming to attract 75$ billion by
2025 into the country’s new
industrial manufacturing sector.
With myriad technological
implementations, UAE
manufacturers, suppliers and
consumers are increasingly
adopting an “intelligent”
approach to enhance
performance standards, quality
assurance and operational
processes.
Being UAE’s largest
manufacturing summit, Made
in UAE is an unbeatable
knowledge exchange platform
that brings together highlevel
executives who play
an active role in shaping the
UAE’s manufacturing scene.
It’s about rethinking business
strategy for scalable, secure
and efficient future. The
summit features keynotes
from global thought leaders,
engaging panel discussions,
interactive sessions with
MFG tycoons, an exhibition
showcasing leading MFG
brands and strategic
workshops.
UAE’s Manufacturing
Industry
The UAE has no dearth of
manufacturing companies
with strong brand names.
Take Damas, a jewelry maker
founded in Dubai as early as
in 1907. Or Al Khaznah, an
Abu Dhabi-based tannery that
produces an exclusive range
of innovative, biodegradable
camel leather. In the
vehicle industry, defense
vehicle manufacturer Nimr
Automotives has made a name
for itself in North Africa’s harsh
desert environments.
More recently, Tesla-style start-ups
have popped up in the automotive
sector. Zarooq Motors, the first car
manufacturer with facilities in the
UAE and Emirati management,
produces the high-performance
SandRacer sports car. It has been
joined by W Motors, the UAE’s first
supercar manufacturer.
UAE also has a fair share of
technology manufacturing,
including Falcon Technologies
International, which produces
high-end data storage products,
and KhalifaSat, the first satellite
produced here without external
partners. And believe it or not,
the country already has its own
smartphone brand, Four, launched
last year by Emirati entrepreneur
Faisal Al Bannai, who is also
CEO of Axiom Telecom and of
cybersecurity firm DarkMatter.
