4/25/24, 3:43 PM          Ministry of Economy organises ‘National Forum for SMEs - Government Procurement’ | Emirates News Agency
                     The fifth session titled ‘Government initiatives to


                     support national SMEs’ examined a range of initiatives


                     provided by federal entities to support projects led by


                     Emirati entrepreneurs. These include the National


                     Program for SMEs and projects, the Digital Procurement


                     Platform, as well as the ‘Hawafez’ Program and the In-



                     Country Value (ICV) program.


                     Yet another session, titled ‘How local government


                     entities support national SMEs,’ discussed the support


                     provided by local government entities to SMEs.


                     Participants had the opportunity to explore government


                     procurement programs in the UAE, along with the latest


                     initiatives, partnerships, and the outcomes achieved in


                     supporting national projects.


                     Finally, the last session titled ‘How to become a


                     professional supplier to government agencies’



                     underscored the significance of establishing strategic


                     relationships between Emirati SMEs and government


                     officials. The objective was to promote the products and


                     services offered by their companies and leverage the


                     support services provided by their respective entities.
