Aligning your business with the UAE’s national economic vision can open doors to significant opportunities—especially when collaborating with government or semi-government organizations. One of the most effective ways to demonstrate your support for the local economy is by obtaining an In-Country Value (ICV) Certificate.
In simple terms, ICV Certification measures how much a company adds value within the UAE — through local spending, hiring UAE nationals, investing in local manufacturing, and supporting local suppliers.

ICV Certification in the UAE (In-Country Value Certification) is a program introduced by the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MOIAT) to encourage companies to contribute more to the country’s local economy.
In simple terms, ICV Certification measures how much a company adds value within the UAE — through local spending, hiring UAE nationals, investing in local manufacturing, and supporting local suppliers.
Once a company obtains an ICV Certificate, it can gain advantages in government and semi-government tenders, as organizations such as ADNOC, Etisalat, and other federal entities give preference to suppliers with a higher ICV score.
An ICV Certificate in the UAE is primarily required for companies that wish to work with government and semi-government entities or participate in their tenders and contracts. It serves as proof that your business contributes to the UAE’s local economy through local sourcing, Emiratization, and investment initiatives. Obtaining this certification not only increases your eligibility for government projects but also enhances your reputation as a trusted and compliant partner aligned with the nation’s economic development goals.
Any business looking to participate in government tenders, semi-government projects, or the supply chains of ICV-certified companies should obtain an In-Country Value (ICV) Certificate. This certification demonstrates your company’s contribution to the UAE’s local economy through local spending, employment, and investment.
Having an ICV Certificate not only ensures compliance with MoIAT regulations but also boosts your company’s credibility and competitiveness. It helps you stand out when bidding for contracts, strengthens your market presence, and opens doors to greater business opportunities across the UAE.
