He also thanked the Strategic Partners for their role in the success of Taqdeer Award, through their commitment to excellence and efforts toward implementing the award criteria with great dedication and transparency.

Obaid said: “This appreciation ceremony is another step on the road to promote mutual cooperation among us, especially after the remarkable success of the Award in its first cycle.

I look forward to contributing together to reach heights that are globally unprecedented on the level of cooperation between the two sides of the production equation, namely employers and employees and making the Taqdeer Award a bigger success as we widen its reach and extend it to include companies in the free zones in its 2nd cycle. I am confident that we will take this responsibility together and write another success story of our Dubai in the field of excellence, innovation and co-existence.
