emirates7 - The Mohammed Bin Rashid Establishment for Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Dubai SME), part of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Al Tadawi Healthcare Group to expand procurement access, commercial visibility and growth opportunities for Emirati-owned SMEs across Dubai. The collaboration directly contributes to Dubai SME’s mandate to support national talent and drive entrepreneurship, in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33, which aims to double the size of the city’s economy by 2033 and strengthen Dubai’s position as a competitive and attractive hub for SMEs and local enterprises.
The partnership is designed to support Dubai SME members in establishing and scaling their operations more efficiently through tailored procurement opportunities, as well as access to preferential commercial and rental spaces across Al Tadawi Healthcare Group’s network of facilities. By connecting SMEs to stable, high‑quality demand within the healthcare sector, the partnership aims to enable long‑term business participation.
Under the agreement, Dubai SME members will receive discounts on commercial space and location rates, including retail outlets and service areas dedicated to supporting patient and visitor needs. The agreement also grants priority to Emirati suppliers who are Dubai SME members in securing deals and contracts listed by Al Tadawi Healthcare Group within its supplier roster. The procurement scope covers a broad range of needs, spanning healthcare-related requirements as well as general operational and corporate purchasing categories. The partnership further provides structured platforms for engagement, including regular networking events and exhibitions hosted within Al Tadawi Healthcare Group’s facilities.
