Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has awarded AED54bn ($14.7bn) in contracts to UAE-based suppliers during the second half of 2025, reinforcing its position as a major driver of national economic growth and industrial development.
The announcement came during the ninth edition of the Business Partnership Forum, held on the sidelines of ADIPEC 2025, where ADNOC also outlined new procurement opportunities for 2026–2027 under the theme “From Outlook to Outcome – Partnering for National Growth.”
The contracts cover strategic services, drilling, maintenance, logistics, digital solutions, and major projects across the ADNOC Group, supporting ADNOC’s commitment to strengthen supply chain efficiency, enhance local market competitiveness, and drive sustainable economic growth across the UAE.
$24.5bn local manufacturing target by 2030
ADNOC plans to locally manufacture AED90bn ($24.5bn) worth of products in its procurement pipeline by 2030 as part of its long-term In-Country Value (ICV) programme.
Since 2018, the ICV programme has driven AED242bn ($65.9bn) back into the UAE economy and enabled the employment of 18,500 Emiratis in the private sector. ADNOC aims to channel an additional AED200bn ($54.5bn) into the national economy over the next five years.
Omar Abdulla Alnuiami, Acting Director, Group Commercial and In-Country Value Directorate at ADNOC, said: “ADNOC is accelerating the UAE’s industrial growth and economic diversification and providing our partners greater visibility into our procurement pipeline as we deliver on our strategic priorities.
“We are channelling demand from our procurement opportunities to boost the local economy, strengthen the resilience of our supply chain and ensure that products once imported are now made in the UAE.
“The procurement contracts and agreements we have awarded this year are testament to this effort and we invite local and international companies to leverage our In-Country Value programme to drive long-term value creation.”
Technology agreements
In conjunction with the forum, ADNOC signed framework agreements worth AED2.6bn ($708.5m) with Emerson Process Management Distribution Limited, Yokogawa Middle East and Africa, ABB Transmission and Distribution Limited, Schneider Electric, and Honeywell.
The agreements cover the manufacturing of integrated control and safety systems, emergency shutdown systems, automation, control and monitoring systems, and fire and gas systems in the UAE.
These long-term partnerships will support ADNOC’s digitalisation drive, enhance operational reliability, localise advanced technologies, and develop Emirati talent in the industrial sector.
12 new UAE manufacturing facilities
ADNOC also announced 12 new local manufacturing facilities and final investment decisions (FIDs) by UAE-based and international companies during ADIPEC 2025.
The projects, enabled by ADNOC’s ICV programme, will strengthen the UAE’s industrial base across key locations including Abu Dhabi, Al Ruwais, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Sharjah, boosting competitiveness and supply chain integration.
This year’s Business Partnership Forum brought together government officials, UAE-based and international suppliers, and technology firms to discuss opportunities in the UAE’s industrial and energy ecosystem.
ADNOC introduced enhanced supplier systems and policy updates to improve transparency and simplify engagement for private-sector partners and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The initiatives reflect ADNOC’s continued role as a key enabler of the UAE economy and a trusted business partner in achieving the country’s long-term industrial strategy.
