There is ample evidence throughout the region of the corporate sector’s ability to build, produce, retail and even invest profitably. The result has been exceptional economic growth and progress in recent years and this has laid the foundations for a dynamic new economic bloc centred on the GCC.
Emaar Industries & Investments (EII) is a first for Emaar Properties and for the region. It offers a gateway to new capabilities and opportunities in industry and manufacturing, sectors which remain relatively unexplored and underdeveloped.
These capabilities, as much as the opportunities, are crucial to the continuing evolution of local economies. They offer a way to add depth and diversify away from the limited range of core activities that define the scope of commercial activity in the region.
At a second level, these capabilities offer an option for a different type of future. One that would feature home grown industries, the potential for full employment, innovation in new fields, enterprise, creativity and mainstream manufacturing and production.
Our vision in founding EII was undoubtedly ambitious. We took a conscious decision to break with the past in pursuit of a new direction. Our mission has been equally adventurous, to create a new channel that will allow regional economies to move forward and break down barriers to growth.
We saw EII as a bridge linking investors, developed and developing industries, expertise, production capacities, markets and continents.
There are no limits to what EII can achieve.
