The programme was established by Federal Law No. “2” of 2014 under the umbrella of the Ministry of Economy, where it is supervised by a specialised council within the Ministry, aimed at empowering SME owners, and setting general frameworks and guidelines that provide the necessary expertise and technical, administrative and training support in various fields. The law endeavours to promote and develop small and medium enterprises, in addition to preparing periodic evaluation, coordinating with federal and local government entities and the private sector to market their products and services inside and outside the UAE, and coordinating with the concerned authorities to provide benefits and incentives for these enterprises.
The federal law stipulates the commitment of the federal authorities to contract with small and medium enterprises in the UAE at a rate of no less than 10% of the total contracts in order to meet their purchasing, servicing and consulting requirements.
The commitment of companies in which the federal government owns at least 25% of its capital to contract with small and medium-sized enterprises in the UAE by at least 5% of the total contracts in order to meet their purchasing, servicing and consulting requirements.
