The Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council convened the second quarter meeting of its Permanent Technical Committee for the Abu Dhabi Quality Policy, according to council updates. Participants examined strategies to accelerate local manufacturing growth while enhancing industrial competitiveness and supporting export readiness across key sectors. The session underscored the role of robust quality systems in positioning Abu Dhabi products more strongly in global markets.
According to a statement from the council, the policy launched in January 2026 serves as a national model for governance, quality and sustainability. It supports broader UAE objectives for economic development and diversification through unified quality platforms. Committee members discussed ways to integrate these elements more deeply into technology-driven industries.
A report from Economy Middle East indicated that the initiative will improve the global economic competitiveness of Abu Dhabi-made products, particularly in innovation-focused areas. The policy aims to create a comprehensive framework that aligns local practices with international benchmarks. Officials stressed the value of ongoing collaboration between public authorities and private enterprises to achieve these aims.
The review aligns with the UAE’s strong performance in global assessments, with the country ranking first worldwide in the lack of labour disputes indicator according to the Global Competitiveness Report. Such quality measures contribute to reducing costs, elevating national added value and expanding access to overseas markets. The committee’s work also ties into national programs designed to grow the industrial sector’s contribution to the economy.
Council representatives highlighted advancements in inspection, testing and conformity services covering food, water, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and agriculture, the authority noted in its updates. These capabilities help maintain high safety and performance levels while facilitating smoother trade flows. The meeting produced recommendations for expanding the quality hub to back initiatives like Make it in the Emirates.
The Abu Dhabi Quality Policy Committee reviews measures to enhance competitiveness as part of continuous efforts to adapt to evolving global demands and technological shifts. This includes building on recent expansions in specialized testing services introduced earlier in the year. Through regular evaluations, the committee seeks to sustain Abu Dhabi’s trajectory in economic diversification and sustainable development.
