We invite stakeholders, partners, and industry leaders to register their interest in our upcoming side event focused on translating AMA’s mandate into tangible benefits for local manufacturers. The session will spotlight practical opportunities for SMEs and innovators to engage, grow, and benefit from regional market access and policy alignment.

This timely discussion will also unpack the role of the newly launched SME & Innovation Office and what it means for manufacturers seeking support, partnerships, and scale. Spaces are limited—register your interest to receive updates, confirm participation, and help shape the conversation.
