ADNOC and the Ministry formalise partnership for Manufacturers 2026
ADNOC has announced a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology to co-organise Manufacturers 2026, the industry and advanced-technology jobs exhibition. The two-day event will take place on June 8 and 9 at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre and aims to create direct channels between Emirati jobseekers and leading private-sector employers. ADNOC said it will contribute through its national-content programme to ensure high-quality roles and targeted career pathways for UAE nationals.
Event schedule and venue details confirmed
Manufacturers 2026 is scheduled to run across both days at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre, with sessions and recruitment activities planned throughout the event. Employers from manufacturing, advanced technology and related supply chains will host information booths, conduct interviews and present role requirements to attendees. The organisers have highlighted that the event is open to Emirati nationals seeking positions and career development opportunities in the private sector.
Fair designed to connect Emirati talent with immediate opportunities
The stated objective of Manufacturers 2026 is to enable Emirati candidates to meet hiring teams face-to-face, learn about available roles and, where suitable, undertake on-the-spot interviews. ADNOC described the fair as part of a broader effort to boost national participation in industry jobs and to place Emirati professionals into substantive positions across manufacturing and technology firms. Organisers expect the format to accelerate recruitment timelines by combining employer presentations with real-time screening and interviews.
Employers expected to offer a range of roles and interviews
A diverse roster of private-sector companies is set to participate in Manufacturers 2026, representing traditional manufacturing activities alongside advanced-technology operations and services. Participating firms will be positioned to discuss openings that span operational, technical and specialist roles, as well as opportunities in emerging industry functions. Event programming will prioritise direct engagement, enabling recruiters to meet pre-screened candidates and to schedule follow-up placements or immediate hires where appropriate.
ADNOC’s national-content programme underpins the initiative
ADNOC stated that its involvement stems from a strategic commitment to enhance national content within the private sector and to develop Emirati skillsets aligned with industry needs. The company will deploy elements of its national-content and workforce development initiatives to support training, assessment and placement activities at the fair. This approach is intended to create pathways for sustainable employment, and to equip Emirati talent with the competencies required by manufacturers and advanced-technology employers.
Guidance for candidates attending Manufacturers 2026
Organisers advise Emirati jobseekers to prepare updated CVs, relevant certifications and clear identification to facilitate quick screening at the venue. Candidates should be ready for concise, on-site interviews and for follow-up conversations with hiring managers, and are encouraged to research prospective employers in advance. Professional attire and a brief personal pitch outlining skills and career objectives will help applicants make strong impressions during short interview windows.
Manufacturers 2026 represents a coordinated effort by ADNOC and the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology to strengthen Emirati participation in the industrial and technology workforce, and to accelerate private-sector hiring through concentrated, face-to-face recruitment on June 8 and 9 at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre. Attendees are urged to arrive prepared to engage with employers, pursue immediate interviews and explore longer-term career development support offered at the event.
