Emirates Gold joins Make it in the Emirates 2026 as Platinum Group partner

Emirates Gold spotlights retail innovation and refinery pedigree at Make it in the Emirates 2026

Dubai-headquartered Emirates Gold took a prominent role at Make it in the Emirates 2026, participating as a Platinum Group partner at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi from May 4 to 7. The fifth edition of the forum staged the UAEs manufacturers, industrial innovators and supply-chain leaders under a national agenda of industrial self-reliance and higher value manufacturing a timely platform for a refinery with more than three decades in the countrys precious metals sector.

At its booth, Emirates Gold showcased a mix of consumer-facing and technical capabilities. The companys fintech-enabled Gold ATM attracted strong visitor interest by enabling instant purchases of certified gold and silver bars and coins, underscoring Emirates Golds strategy to widen access to investment-grade precious metals. A live laser engraving machine demonstrated on-demand customisation for retail and corporate clients, while the booth hosted industry executives, investors and prospective partners, generating conversations the company described as foundations for future collaborations.

Chief Executive Officer Abhijit Shah used the event to reflect on the UAEs evolution into a major global gold hub. He argued that the countrys position now second only to Switzerland in physical gold trading is the product of deliberate investments in infrastructure, regulatory reform and robust market standards. Shah said Emirates Gold aims to translate that market credibility into concrete value for investors and consumers through certified bullion, accessible retail formats and customised minting.

The release highlighted the broader market context: renewed investor appetite for assets seen as anchors of stability has re-established gold at the centre of international capital flows. The UAEs rise in the global gold economy, the article notes, rests not only on trade volumes but on the trust embedded in local standards, refining capacity and the decisions of refineries, trading houses and logistics providers to base operations there.

Emirates Golds own track record features prominently in that narrative. Founded in 1992, the company became the first UAE refinery to achieve UAE Good Delivery accreditation (formerly Dubai Good Delivery) and continues to apply those standards across its product range. In parallel with its institutional refinery business, Emirates Gold has been expanding direct-to-consumer services, including a retail boutique in Jumeirah Lakes Towers in Dubai and the Gold ATM technology displayed at the forum.

The companys product offering spans certified gold and silver bars and coins, bullion trading, assaying, smelting and minting services. The press material invites consumers and investors to visit the Jumeirah Lakes Towers retail boutique on Al Sarayat Street to explore investment-grade precious metals backed by its refinery expertise.

Emirates Golds participation at Make it in the Emirates 2026 was presented as both a reaffirmation of the UAEs industrial ambitions and a signal of the companys continued push to blend traditional refinery credentials with consumer access and fintech-enabled distribution.
