In-Country Value (ICV) Certification

The In-Country Value (ICV) certification is a vital initiative by the UAE government aimed at promoting local economic growth, creating job opportunities, and diversifying the economy. It is essential for companies looking to participate in government tenders or work with key entities like ADNOC, Etisalat, and more.

At JAKS, we simplify the ICV certification process, helping businesses maximize their ICV score while ensuring compliance with all regulations. With our expert guidance, your business can gain a competitive edge and access lucrative opportunities in the UAE market.

What Is ICV Certification?

ICV Certification is a program introduced to evaluate and enhance the contribution of companies to the UAE economy. The ICV score is calculated based on various parameters, including:

  • Local procurement spending
  • Emiratization (employment of UAE nationals)
  • Investments in local assets
  • Contribution to the local economy (value-added services)

Companies with a higher ICV score are prioritized for government contracts, fostering economic sustainability within the country.
