The UAE launches the industrial enterprises census

The project was announced on January 30 by the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technologies (MoIAT). The census aims to create a comprehensive database of all enterprises engaged in industrial activities in accordance with the International Standard Industry Classification (ISIC4 – Section C). The census will also cover enterprises that operate in the FEZs regardless of their license type - industrial or non-industrial.  The information regarding the company license, shareholders, financial indicators, number of employees, etc. will be requested in the course of the census. The data privacy will be ensured, and the database gained will be used for analytical research purposes only. MoIAT emphasizes that the census will  allow for the evaluation of the industrial sector performance and contribution to the national GDP. The project is being implemented within Operation 300 Billion Initiative aimed to create a business environment attracting investments in the UAE industry.
