What Is an ICV Certificate?
An In-Country Value (ICV) Certificate measures and scores a company's contribution to the UAE's local economy based on factors such as local spending, Emiratisation, local manufacturing, and investment.
Companies undergo certification through an accredited certifying body that reviews financial and operational data to calculate an ICV score. The score can influence competitiveness when bidding for contracts with entities that apply ICV weighting.
