The concept of Emirate of Dubai Economic Supply Projects (EDESP) content emerged with the launch of Dubai's Vision 2030, and aiming at developing local content in all sectors, the Emirate of Dubai has worked on many initiatives and regulations. One of the most prominent efforts was the royal decree to establish the Emirate of Dubai Economic Supply Projects (EDESP) to achieve the aspirations of our leadership for the growth and prosperity of our national economy.
The Emirate of Dubai Economic Supply Projects (EDESP) directed all its efforts towards the development of local and foreign content, as the percentage of local content in the non-petroleum expenditure in 2020 reached 57.87%. These efforts will also be directly reflected in the national economy, and the authority will work to be one of the main enablers of our local and foreign products, services and human resources to achieve the objectives of Dubai's Vision 2030.
