Born in the Middle East and based in the United Arab Emirates, Hasn Group is an independent capability development and offset programme and project management consultancy that supports clients and helps them achieve nationally-significant, complex and large-scale projects, in the region and around the world.
Through a thorough understanding of business goals, abilities and industry potential, the company fortifies clients and partners, offering them the ability to create positions of strength and accomplish any ambition.
Our success stems from our deep and thorough knowledge of the local environment and our understanding of how to optimise operational and technology requirements for effective and productive project management operations.
In 2021 the value of military acquisitions at International Defence Exhibition (IDEX) and the Naval Defence Exhibition (NAVDEX) in Abu Dhabi exceeded AED 20.95 billion (equivalent to USD $5.7 billion). Military and police spending in the United Arab Emirates present a considerable opportunity to those companies that are willing to engage in the country. However, whilst the opportunity for sales in the UAE and wider region is excellent, the quid-pro-quo is the offset obligation that comes with that opportunity.
Offsets are best understood as industrial compensation arrangements for non-domestic suppliers. The drivers of the UAE offset program have remained constant – a focus on economic diversification, technology transfer and development of personnel; all governed by a contractual framework. Hasn Group effectively brings together the disparate strands of capability development, project management and offset management, ensuring clients can focus on what they do best.
Taking into consideration that the United Arab Emirates is a country at the beginning of a great journey filled with promise, Hasn Group believes offsets should be regarded as a tremendous opportunity.
According to the US Department of Commerce, the UAE has infrastructure projects to the value of USD $93.6 billion currently underway as part of the overall UAE economic growth strategy. A nation in its infancy, literally building itself from the ground up, the UAE celebrated only its fiftieth national day on December 2nd 2021. By engaging whole-heartedly in the offset programme of the UAE, Hasn Group clients earn the right to become part of the UAE and the wider region’s future; creating new industries, new capabilities and new opportunities.
Our goal is for Hasn Group to be regarded as the most trusted partner, not only in the UAE, but anywhere in the world, for capability development and offset programme and project management. Our aim is to build relationships that help governments, companies and offset partners understand each other better. Our focus is for their collaborative efforts to lead to better project delivery and success.
