Industrial Leaders Gather to Strengthen UAE Manufacturing

Industrial leaders from across the United Arab Emirates and strategic partners converged at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi for the second edition of the Make it with ADNOC Forum, a gathering designed to advance the nation’s manufacturing ambitions and strengthen its industrial foundations.

Held ahead of ADIPEC 2026, the forum brought together decision makers from the UAE’s most significant companies and domestic enterprises to examine the expansion of local manufacturing capabilities. The discussions centred on building greater industrial resilience across the Emirates, a priority that positions the nation’s economy for sustained growth and self sufficiency.

The forum reflected a broader commitment to developing domestic industrial capacity, creating opportunities for Emirati companies to strengthen their position within the region’s expanding industrial ecosystem. By convening these key figures, the gathering facilitated dialogue around the practical steps needed to scale local manufacturing operations and enhance the technical infrastructure that supports them.
