MoCI takes part in 'Make it in Emirates Forum 2025', showcases Qatar's vision for regional industrial integration
ABU DHABI: During its participation in the Make it in the Emirates Forum, which kicked off in Abu Dhabi and scheduled to run through May 22, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) discussed the State of Qatar's efforts to bolster regional partnerships and advance sustainable industrial integration across the region.
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry HE Mohammed bin Hassan Al Malki took part in a panel discussion themed 'Integration of Global Supply Chains Amid International Industrial Alliances and Partnerships'.
He emphasized that Qatar's National Manufacturing Strategy aligns with the UAE's vision to strengthen regional industrial collaboration, lauding the launch of the 'Industrial Partnership for Sustainable Economic Development' from Abu Dhabi in 2022 as a strategic platform to propel shared development.
The partnership was launched with the membership of the UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, and Morocco and was broadened with the joining of the State of Qatar and the Republic of Turkiye in early 2025, thereby establishing a collaborative framework to foster industrial integration among participating states and to advance the construction of a resilient and competitive economic landscape anchored in innovation and sustainability.
He noted the integrated industrial potential of the member states, stressing the importance of unifying efforts in confronting global challenges and achieving regional leadership in supply chains and advanced manufacturing.
This event is not merely a platform to showcase national industrial capabilities, but rather an effective mechanism to forge strategic industrial partnerships, foster innovation, and cement a solid infrastructure that serves the aspirations of the next generations, Al Malki underlined.
Al Malki also highlighted two regional industrial ventures that exemplify the spirit of collaboration under the Integrated Industrial Partnership for Sustainable Economic Development.
The first is a strategic partnership between Medgulf Construction Company of Qatar and the UAE's Future Pipe Industries, aimed at supplying 28,000 meters of fiberglass pipes for a regional infrastructure project slated for completion in January 2026.
The second initiative is a long-term agreement between Qatar Steel and Bahrain Steel, valued at $1.266 billion, to deliver five million metric tons of raw materials over a five-year period, reinforcing the integration of supply chains and ensuring continuity in industrial production across the region.
Furthermore, he shed light on the Qatar National Manufacturing Strategy 2024-2030, which seeks to build an industrial future anchored in a resilient and diversified base that contributes to the national objective of achieving a 4 percent annual GDP growth through 2030.
The strategy aspires to position the State of Qatar among the world's top 40 countries on the Competitive Industrial Performance Index.
