The idea of creating the platform

The idea of establishing the “platform” was launched at the initiative of the Arab Organization for Industrial Development, Standardization and Mining, within the framework of its support for the efforts of member states in facing the repercussions of the emerging Corona pandemic (COVID19) and to meet the increasing demand for necessary industrial goods and products, raw materials and intermediates that are used in production processes. And to serve as an interactive window that includes the needs and requests of countries for commodities, food products, equipment, and medical, health and pharmaceutical supplies, as they constitute the most demanded products during the beginnings of the pandemic, in addition to data for some Arab industrial and export companies and institutions that have production capabilities to meet these necessary needs.

The organization has worked to develop the fields of this platform to include all industrial sectors of various types and classifications, to become the first official industrial platform specialized for requests and offers of industrial products in the Arab countries. In this way, the platform will provide an interactive database to link the Arab bodies concerned with submitting requests, tenders, procurement and supplies on the one hand, and the bidders from factories, companies, industrial and export institutions on the other hand.
