At Goldstone, we support businesses in aligning with the UAE’s National In-Country Value (ICV) Program — a key initiative under the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology to boost the sustainability and productivity of the nation’s industrial sector. The ICV program assesses a company’s contribution to the local economy, and certified suppliers enjoy a competitive edge in securing government and semi-government contracts based on their ICV score.

The primary goals of the program include:

• Strengthening local supply chains

• Fostering new local industries and services

• Stimulating foreign investment

• Diversifying the national economy

• Increasing non-oil exports

• Driving R&D and advanced technology spending

• Creating private sector jobs

• Enhancing GDP contribution from the private sector

The ICV Program is implemented in collaboration with leading national entities such as ADNOC, ADDED, Aldar, Abu Dhabi Ports, Mubadala, Emirates Steel, and others.

Goldstone’s expert ICV team is headquartered in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, consisting of 30+ professionals with extensive experience in ICV certifications. Having successfully delivered over 2,000 ICV reports, we assist businesses both remotely and on-site to meet certification requirements across industries. Our services ensure that your business not only complies with ICV standards but also maximizes its local economic impact and competitiveness.
