Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council Showcases Role at Make it in the Emirates 2026

Council’s Role in National Quality Infrastructure

The Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (ADQCC) is actively participating in the fifth edition of the “Make it in the Emirates 2026” exhibition, which is taking place from May 4 to 7 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). This event gathers a distinguished group of decision-makers, experts, and leading industrial and investment entities, highlighting the Council’s significant role in developing the national quality infrastructure and enhancing the competitiveness of the UAE’s industrial sector.

“Make it in the Emirates” serves as the UAE’s premier national industrial platform, uniting government entities, manufacturers, investors, and global partners. The initiative is focused on advancing local manufacturing growth, improving industrial competitiveness, supporting export readiness, and strengthening national supply chains.

Launch of Quality Hub Platform

In a bid to bolster quality infrastructure, the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology has launched the “Quality Hub” platform, marking a first for the nation. The ADQCC is tasked with organizing and operating this platform in collaboration with strategic partners, aiming to enhance the integration of the national quality ecosystem and improve efficiency within the industrial sector.

The “Quality Hub” is structured around five key pillars: standards, conformity assessment, inspection and quality assurance, metrology, and accreditation. This comprehensive approach is designed to foster an industrial environment founded on quality and reliability.

Showcasing Capabilities and Future Commitment

During the exhibition, the ADQCC will showcase its leadership in advancing the quality ecosystem by presenting the National Quality Infrastructure framework, enhancing regulatory governance, and reinforcing trust in industrial products and services. This initiative aims to further position Abu Dhabi as a global hub for quality and accreditation.

The Council will also highlight its advanced capabilities in inspection, testing, certification, conformity assessment, and calibration, which are essential for supporting manufacturers. These capabilities facilitate market access, enhance compliance with product requirements, and improve export readiness, thereby boosting the competitiveness of UAE-made products both locally and internationally.

Eng. Fahad Gharib Al Shamsi, Acting Secretary General of the ADQCC, emphasized that the Council’s participation in the exhibition reflects its commitment to advancing the national quality infrastructure. He stated, “Through this participation, we continue to strengthen the quality infrastructure in the UAE in a way that supports the competitiveness of national products and enhances their readiness for global markets.” Al Shamsi further noted the importance of empowering the industrial sector through an integrated ecosystem based on inspection, accreditation, and conformity assessment.

Implications for UAE’s Industrial Sector

The ADQCC’s involvement in the Make it in the Emirates 2026 exhibition reaffirms its commitment to supporting the UAE’s industrial transformation and establishing a comprehensive quality ecosystem that aligns with global best practices. This initiative is crucial for the development of a sustainable, innovation-driven industrial economy predicated on trust and quality.
