Through the vision of His HighnessShaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and the successful economic policy set by His HighnessShaikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, the Emirate has been able to adopt best practices that have helped ensure the continued growth of the industrial sector. We have been therefore very keen in organising the exhibition in line with our plans and strategies for 2010, which include the implementation of programs that promote the growth potential of the Emirate. Furthermore, we aim to open opportunities in the area of industrial investment and to provide technical and consultancy services and funding facilities for all investors. We look forward to realising Sharjah’s long-term goals by promoting confidence in local products and bringing the local economy to a new level of excellence.’ The exhibition will display products and services from different industry sectors, including food and beverage, woodworks and furniture, home and industrial chemical products, building materials, fabrics, printing and publishing, non-metallic raw materials, machinery and manufacturing equipment, cement and rapid concrete.
