About the event

What is Make it in the Emirates?

Make it in the Emirates is the UAE's main industrial platform, supporting the national strategy to grow manufacturing and localise supply chains. It brings together ministries, national companies such as ADNOC, investors and manufacturers to announce offtake agreements, investments and new factories. Exhibitors cover sectors from advanced manufacturing and food to health, space and defence supply chains.

The 2026 edition welcomed 146,329 visitors and 1,245 exhibitors across 88,000 square metres, with more than 200 agreements signed and AED 180 billion in offtake commitments announced. With so many signings and announcements, exhibitors need fast, professional photos and videos for press releases and social posts on the same day.

Advice from our event crews for making your presence count online.

  • Book crews early. Major industry shows are peak weeks for event crews — secure your team well ahead.
  • Share the VIP schedule. Ministerial and VIP visits are short. Send us the timing so we're in position.
  • One message per day. Plan a daily theme — launch, partnership, people — so your posts tell a story.
  • Arrange crew badges. We coordinate crew passes through your exhibitor portal before the show.
