they have in obtaining tenders and contracts offered by federal entities and national companies
participating in the Forum.

The upcoming Forum will feature over 80 federal entities, national companies, and numerous SMEs
owners will also be in attendance. The Forum will feature 30 participating entities that will offer digital
platforms showcasing the terms of tenders and contracts available to Emirati entrepreneurs. In
addition, they will provide valuable advice and support to help the attendees capitalize on these
opportunities. Participants will also be introduced to various initiatives that aim to support national
SME-owners. These initiatives provide valuable opportunities for business growth and facilitate
access to new projects.
The Forum is set to host a series of inclusive discussions, featuring 26 speakers who will shed light
on legislation and policies that provide economic support for the growth of remarkable projects
through government procurement. The sessions will highlight success stories of national business
owners while also addressing the challenges they faced in securing government tenders.

The Forum will serve as a key platform in raising awareness on programs designed to support
Emirati entrepreneurs. These programs include the National Programme for Small and Medium-
Sized Enterprises, the Digital Procurement Platform (DPP), as well as the Hafez and Nafis
programs. Participants will have access to the advantages offered by these remarkable initiatives
and latest updates that support national businesses.

The Ministry of Economy invites all UAE entrepreneurs to attend the event to seize the available
opportunities and enhance their contributions to the development of the national economy and their
competitiveness at regional and global levels.
