Winning UAE’s Manufacturing Market
Background
A leading digital transformation company specializing in precision automation, IoT-enabled sensors, SCADA/MES integration, and predictive maintenance solutions sought to expand its reach across the UAE’s manufacturing sector. Recently acquired by a global industrial giant, the company needed to accelerate its sales pipeline and scale operations rapidly.
With only one Business Development Manager covering the entire UAE market, they required immediate support to engage manufacturers, production leaders, and digital transformation executives, ensuring a steady flow of qualified meetings and sales opportunities.

- Targeting High-Value Manufacturing Leaders – Needed to connect with Heads of Production, CIOs, Heads of Maintenance, and Digital Transformation Directors in top-tier manufacturing firms.
- Market Positioning & Awareness – Many manufacturers were unaware of how their IoT, automation, and predictive maintenance solutions could directly impact operations.
- Language & Cultural Fit – The company required an Arabic-speaking sales representative to improve regional engagement.
