How to get an ICV Certificate for company
The In-Country Value (ICV) Certificate is issued by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) and evaluates a company’s contribution to the UAE economy. It focuses on key areas such as:
- Local manufacturing
- Use of local products and services
- Investments within the UAE
- Hiring and development of Emiratis
The main goal? Redirecting government and private sector spending into the national economy and strengthening the UAE's industrial base.

Companies that wish to:
- Participate in government or semi-government tenders
- Work with major entities like ADNOC, Aldar, Etisalat, and others
