UAE’s industrial sector is fast becoming a top global destination for international investors due to several key policies and incentives introduced in recent years, a panel session at the Make it in the Emirates (MIITE) Forum heard.

 

The panel heard how the government is creating conducive pathways for growth and investments under Operation 300bn, the strategy aiming to propel the industrial sector's contribution to GDP to AED300 billion ($81.7 billion) by 2031.
