About The Event:

As you know, the Middle East manufacturing sector is facing an increase in competition from low-cost production bases like India and China, whilst managing pressures from the rising cost of raw materials.

As global competition increases, heads of manufacturing companies are under pressure to cost-effectively increase production and drive innovation and efficiencies throughout their operations.

With the regional move towards diversification and less dependency on oil and gas, what can stakeholders do to stimulate a sustained large-scale growth in manufacturing?

How can industrial and manufacturing leaders drive efficiencies into their company and ensure that their production techniques are improved and their products are globally competitive?

These key challenges are being addressed at the forthcoming Middle East Strategic Manufacturing Summit, held on 9 – 12 December 2007 at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), Abu Dhabi. Industrial and manufacturing leaders from around the region will gather at the Summit to exchange ideas and examine the issues that are of most concern to you. In particular, how you can:

Develop cost-effective manufacturing bases throughout the region
Secure FDI and create successful partnerships
Deliver a strong strategy for regional and global expansion
Improve the quality and productivity of your products
Increase the value in the manufacturing supply chain

The Middle East Strategic Manufacturing Summit is co-located with MEMEX, the Middle East Manufacturing Exhibition. This comprehensive event is an ideal opportunity for you to hear world-class best practice case studies, network with experts and take away new solutions for your operations.
