Industry, Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi Exports Office, and KEZAD
Group. Their presence reflects a shared commitment to enabling manufacturers,
supporting new partnerships, and expanding access to capital, infrastructure, and

resources across the UAE's industrial sector.

The Handicrafts sector brought together artisans, cultural institutions, and heritage-
driven businesses actively preserving and reimagining traditional Emirati crafts.
From Talli embroidery and Khous weaving to ceremonial daggers and eco-friendly

camel leather goods, exhibitors shared not only handmade products but also the
stories, values, and techniques behind them. Organisations such as Al Ghadeer
UAE Crafts are empowering women with heritage skills and transforming them into
sustainable livelihoods. Businesses like Khunair are reviving forgotten crafts and
cultivating demand for locally made ceremonial items. Dubai Culture and Arts

Authority highlighted the importance of cultural transmission, while Al Khaznah
Leathers showcased the fusion of tradition and innovation through sustainable
craftsmanship.

The day also marked the launch of the Industrialist Career Faira dedicated platform
to connect Emirati talent with leading industrial companies. The Vision Hall hosted
high-level panel discussions featuring successful UAE entrepreneurs, who shared
their journeys from local startups to global businesses, alongside a fireside chat on

Emiratisation and the Year of Community.

At Momentum Hall, sessions focused on emerging technologies and new frontiers
within the UAE's industrial ecosystem. A spotlight was placed on the UAE's

contributions to space exploration, including domestically manufactured
components supporting the Arab world's first interplanetary mission. (ANI/WAM)
