emirates7 - Tawazun Council is taking part in the 2025 edition of Make it in the Emirates, the UAE’s flagship platform dedicated to advancing industrial investment and strengthening local manufacturing capabilities. The Council’s presence highlights its dedication to reinforcing a robust and innovative national defence ecosystem driven by Emirati expertise.
This participation serves as a tangible expression of Tawazun’s strategic objectives, which focus on fostering growth and ensuring the sustainability of the UAE’s defence sector. Key initiatives include building integrated infrastructure to support a resilient industrial foundation and forming strategic alliances with private companies and global investors.
The Council’s Defence and Security Industry Affairs Unit will feature several impactful projects made possible through the Tawazun Economic Programme—an essential driver of industrial development and local supplier integration in defence. Among the highlights are the domestically developed Coast Control Radar, produced in collaboration with Saab UAE to enhance maritime security, and the “Go to UAE” initiative with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology and Thales Group, which integrates Emirati suppliers into international supply chains and boosts export capacity.
Also being showcased is the Radar Factory project, a joint venture with Thales Group and Thales Emarat Technologies, aimed at locally producing Ground Master 200 radars, complete with antenna assembly, testing, and engineering capabilities. Other featured projects include the R150S—recognized as the world’s lightest remote weapon station—set to be manufactured in Abu Dhabi by Shielders Advanced Industries. These initiatives reflect Tawazun’s pivotal role in driving industrial innovation, enhancing sovereign capabilities, and cultivating a globally competitive defence manufacturing sector aligned with national objectives.
Tawazun Industrial Park (TIP) will also be represented at MIITE, presenting its cutting-edge infrastructure and comprehensive support services for defence and security sector companies.
In addition, the Council’s Regulatory Affairs Unit will outline its efforts to develop a dynamic legislative and regulatory environment that ensures policy coherence, procedural agility, and industrial compliance—key elements for sustained growth and governance in the sector.
Tawazun Council’s involvement in Make it in the Emirates reaffirms its leadership role in the defence and security domain and its enduring commitment to advancing domestic manufacturing in line with the vision of the UAE’s forward-thinking leadership.
