emirates7 - Dubai Industrial City has secured over AED 1.7 billion in investments across key sectors such as food and beverage (F&B), heavy machinery, energy, automotive, and light industries over the last year, as revealed at the "Make it in the Emirates" forum.
A part of TECOM Group PJSC, Dubai Industrial City continues to play a vital role in advancing the UAE’s industrial agenda, reinforcing its status as a top destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) from manufacturers targeting both regional and global expansion through Dubai.
Saud Abu Alshawareb, Executive Vice President – Industrial at TECOM Group, emphasized the importance of fostering advanced industries for long-term economic development. He highlighted that the volume of recent investments reflects the district’s strong value proposition for global manufacturers and its contribution to Dubai’s position as a premier FDI hub. He reaffirmed the district’s commitment to supporting national strategies such as Operation 300bn, Make it in the Emirates, and the Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33’.
The past 12 months have witnessed notable growth across the district’s six specialized zones, which cater to base metals, machinery, minerals, F&B, transportation, and chemicals.
These latest investments build on Dubai Industrial City’s established reputation as a go-to location for manufacturers, offering purpose-built infrastructure including industrial land, warehousing, and logistics facilities.
New tenants over the past year include Elite Group Holding, a UAE-based conglomerate investing AED 100 million in a 1 million sq.ft. integrated facility to support the automotive and e-commerce sectors. Pure Ice Cream, producer of brands like Baskin-Robbins and Kwality Ice Creams, is constructing a manufacturing facility valued at AED 80 million. Meanwhile, OZON Pharmaceuticals plans to develop a 150,700 sq.ft. production center with an investment exceeding AED 293 million.
The “Make it in the Emirates” forum serves as a strategic platform for entities like Dubai Industrial City to influence the future direction of manufacturing and industrial innovation in the region.
With over 1,100 local, regional, and international manufacturers and more than 350 operating factories, Dubai Industrial City plays a key role in the global supply chain. Its strategic location near Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport, the Etihad Rail freight terminal, and major highways offers seamless access to international markets—placing two-thirds of the global population within an eight-hour flight from Dubai.
