Abu Dhabi offers a wide variety of support programmes to the sector, such as reducing electricity tariffs and allocating industrial land, enhancing the emirate’s competitiveness, he further added.

Sameh Al Qubaisi, Director-General of Economic Affairs at the Department, said the emirate’s industrial sector provides many financial incentives, such as reduced electricity tariffs at 20 fils per kilowatt, and will witness the launch of a new package of incentives.
