Our contract awards create a ripple effect across the economy, helping us to drive productivity, competitiveness and highly-skilled private sector jobs for local talent. We encourage all our partners and stakeholders to collaborate with us and contribute to the UAE's industrial growth journey." Among the key beneficiaries of the awards include NMDC Energy, Target Engineering, Al Dhafra Co-operative Society, Arab Development Establishment, Excel Astra Engineering, Robt.
