Manufacture, process and assemble in the UAE with a DET industrial licence, including facility approvals and Ministry of Industry registration.
The industrial licence covers converting raw materials into finished or semi-finished products: food production, garment manufacturing, furniture, plastics, metal fabrication, packaging and more. Unlike other licences it requires a physical industrial facility, civil defence clearance and registration with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MOIAT).
Pro24 coordinates the full chain: activity approval, facility sourcing in Dubai industrial areas or emirate alternatives, environmental and civil defence clearances, licence issuance and access to Make it in the Emirates incentives, including customs duty exemptions on imported machinery and raw materials.
National industrial strategy is actively rewarding local production.
Products qualify for national origin certificates, easing GCC-wide duty-free distribution.
Import machinery, spare parts and raw materials with customs duty exemptions.
Industrial tariffs for power and water in designated manufacturing zones.
In-country value programs give locally made products preference in tenders.

No. A physical facility with civil defence approval is a licensing condition. We can, however, phase your entry with a smaller unit or a free zone light-industrial option first.
JAFZA suits export-focused production with port adjacency; mainland suits selling into the UAE and government procurement. We model duties and logistics for both before you commit to premises.
Customs duty exemption on inputs, industrial utility tariffs, MOIAT financing programs and in-country value advantages in government purchasing.
Plan 3 to 6 weeks depending on facility readiness and clearances; the licence itself is fast once the facility passes inspection.
