The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has launched the ‘Make it with ADNOC’ mobile app, aimed at accelerating local manufacturing and supporting the UAE’s ‘Make it in the Emirates’ initiative. The app provides manufacturers, SMEs, and entrepreneurs real-time access to ADNOC’s procurement pipeline, offering a clear pathway to long-term manufacturing opportunities within ADNOC’s supply chain.
The app was unveiled at ADNOC’s headquarters and is designed to de-risk investment decisions and streamline supplier onboarding by making ADNOC’s purchasing needs transparent and accessible. It is also a core enabler of ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) programme, which has already injected Dhs242bn ($65.9bn) into the local economy and helped employ 17,000 Emiratis in the private sector since 2018. ADNOC plans to inject an additional Dhs200bn ($54.5bn) over the next five years.
ADNOC executive director Yaser Saeed Almazrouei emphasized that the app will empower businesses to directly engage with ADNOC and unlock mutual value. Officials have hailed the initiative as a strategic step forward in the UAE’s Operation 300bn and Falcon Economy vision, aimed at fostering industrial self-sufficiency, innovation, and global competitiveness.
MoIAT Undersecretary Omar Al Suwaidi expressed that the app would help manufacturers make better-informed investment decisions and strengthen national supply chains. The launch of the app comes ahead of the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ forum in Abu Dhabi from May 19-22, where over 500 companies are expected to participate. ADNOC’s app is part of a broader effort to boost the UAE’s industrial GDP and develop homegrown capabilities while attracting strategic investments.
