SERVICE · MAKE IT IN THE EMIRATES

Planning your UAE operation, with ICV built in from day one.

Products made in the UAE carry more In-Country Value and sit closer to the buyers who award the work. We help manufacturers plan their localisation so every dirham invested also builds their score.

Why manufacture in the UAE

The UAE's Make it in the Emirates initiative supports local manufacturing, and the National ICV Program rewards it in government and national-company tenders. For serious suppliers, localising is how you stop competing on price alone.

Why plan it with us

The expensive mistakes happen before the factory exists: the wrong licence activities, the wrong location, or an investment structured so it earns no ICV points. We bring the ICV logic into the plan from the start.

How it runs

  1. Entry study. Your products against UAE demand, and an honest answer on whether to start with an agent, a facility, or both.
  2. Licence and setup, through the right partners. We don't do company formation or legal work ourselves. We connect you with trusted legal and setup specialists, and we sit in the planning so the licence, location and structure also work for your local content.
  3. Facility and investment plan. Structured with ICV built in from the first asset.
  4. Into the ecosystem. Supplier registration, prequalification and ICV certification, carried by us.

Questions we are asked

Do you set up the company for us?

No. Legal setup and licensing are done by specialists we introduce. Our role is the planning, so the setup supports your local content and supplier approvals.

When should ICV enter the plan?

Before the licence and the investment decisions. Assets, location and local supply chains chosen early are the cheapest ICV points you will ever earn.
