As the central stage of the forum, Vision Hall will bring together global leaders, policymakers, and

innovators to shape the conversation on the UAE’s industrial future. With a capacity of 1,500 guests, the

venue will host four days of thematic programming aligned with national priorities in economic
diversification, technological innovation, and sustainable manufacturing.

The forum opens with a ministerial dialogue on redefining trade, investment, and industrial policy, followed

by a high-level leadership panel on regional industrial alliances and supply chain integration.
The programme will spotlight strategic themes such as economic resilience, localisation, and international

market access, while introducing the Make it in the Emirates Awards Ceremony, which honours excellence

in manufacturing, innovation, and sustainability.

Focused on the impact of the National In-Country Value (ICV) programme, Day Two will showcase how

procurement policies are driving industrial self-sufficiency and local content. The ICV Awards will recognise
leading contributors to national value creation, while an opening fireside chat will explore Emiratisation and

community engagement. The day also features the launch of the Industrialists Career Fair, offering

thousands of industrial job opportunities to young Emiratis.
With a dedicated focus on advanced technology, Day Three explores the UAE’s leadership in digital

transformation and next-generation manufacturing.

A keynote session on Industry 5.0 will examine the convergence of human ingenuity, robotics, and AI in

shaping a more sustainable and collaborative industrial future.
Additional sessions will explore the role of creative technologies, smart factories, AI-powered supply

chains, energy-efficient data infrastructure, and the future of chemical production, positioning the UAE as a

global hub for high-tech, sustainable industry.

The final day places youth at the centre of the conversation, opening with strategic discussion on enabling
young Emiratis to drive industrial transformation. A graduation ceremony will celebrate the achievements of

the Emirati Youth Programme while panels will address key enablers for global export growth and highlight

emerging industries such as biopharma, green steel, and advanced materials.
The programme concludes with forward-looking discussions on scaling industrial innovation through policy,

partnerships, and talent.

In addition to Vision Hall, content will run in parallel across the Strategy Room, Momentum Hall, and

Collaboration Hub—covering strategic roundtables, sector-focused sessions, startup showcases, and

capacity-building workshops.
From AI and automation to localisation and export competitiveness, Make it in the Emirates 2025 will serve

as a national catalyst for investment, industrial innovation, and future-ready policy.

Make it in the Emirates 2025 will take place from May 19–22 at ADNEC Centre, Abu Dhabi.
