Make it in the Emirates is an exhibition for anyone interested in what the UAE manufactures and how its industry is developing. Manufacturers, buyers, investors and companies seeking industrial partners meet here. A visit is particularly useful when a broad interest in the market comes with a specific objective: exploring production, finding a supplier or understanding opportunities to work together.
The event is announced for 3–6 May 2027 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. Visitors can get to know industrial companies in the UAE and identify areas for future business discussions.
What makes the exhibition interesting
The main subject is industrial production and the development of manufacturing relationships. The exhibition format lets visitors meet companies and explore solutions directly at their stands. Visiting specialists can combine an introduction to the market with several planned business meetings.
Prepare a few questions: which products or technologies you seek, which companies you want to meet and which terms of cooperation you would like to discuss. A clear list helps set priorities at a large exhibition. If travelling with colleagues, divide the areas between you and leave time to exchange contacts and impressions.
What to check before travelling
Study the current programme, participant list and registration conditions on the official website. A company’s presence in exhibition material does not guarantee a meeting with a particular person. If a meeting is central to the trip, arrange it directly with the participant.
Choose a day around your most important meetings and leave time between them. When travelling with colleagues, agree who will examine materials and equipment and who will meet potential partners. At the end of the day, you can compare discoveries and decide on next steps.
Travelling to ADNEC
If staying in Abu Dhabi, you can leave from your hotel; if staying in Dubai, discuss a separate trip to the exhibition and back in advance. In your enquiry to Hola Taxi, give the date, departure address and passenger count. Describe an arrival at a Dubai airport followed by travel to Abu Dhabi as a separate plan too, so that the route matches your journey.
