MoIAT launches 'Make it in the Emirates Ramadan Market'

The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) has launched the "Make it in the Emirates Ramadan Market" to raise awareness of the “Make it in the Emirates” initiative and support the Year of Community 2025.

Launched in collaboration with the Emirates Council for Rural Development, the National CSR Fund “MAJRA”, and the UAE Food and Beverage Business Group, the initiative is designed to boost consumer demand for UAE-made products by offering competitive prices from local manufacturers.

The first edition of the market launched at the Umm Al Quwain Chamber of Commerce and Industry, offering a range of Ramadan products. This platform supports local manufacturers and consumers and will run during the first two weeks of Ramadan.

The Make it in the Emirates Ramadan Market aims to enhance the competitiveness and consumer confidence in UAE-made products by directly promoting them and encouraging local consumption. The initiative also aims to grow the F&B sector, enhancing its contribution to the national economy.

Undersecretary of MoIAT, Omar Al Suwaidi, said, “Through this initiative, we provide an interactive platform enabling local manufacturers to engage directly with the public, enhancing consumer confidence in UAE-manufactured products and contributing to sustainable industrial growth. This market exemplifies MoIAT’s efforts during the Year of Community to promote local consumption and competitively priced domestic products.”

MoIAT invites manufacturers to participate in the fourth edition of “Make it in the Emirates”, a leading platform for manufacturers, investors and innovators, taking place at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi from 19th-22nd May 2025.
