Government must take up its role in implementation of industrial policy

The dtic is doubling down on industrial policy execution, with a clear call for public-private partnerships and export-focused financing. This will likely translate into new tender opportunities in industrial development, energy, and trade facilitation, but requires bidders to adapt to collaborative procurement models.
Bidders must prepare for tenders that emphasize partnerships, export support, and alignment with industrialisation goals, while ensuring compliance with evolving policy frameworks.
Government is prioritising active implementation of industrial policy with structured public-private collaboration and export financing mechanisms.
This policy shift will ripple across multiple sectors, as procurement processes increasingly incorporate industrialisation objectives, export incentives, and multi-stakeholder requirements, setting a precedent for other departments.
Companies in industrial development, export-oriented industries, and financing should monitor dtic tenders for new PPP and export credit-backed projects. Early engagement with government and financial partners will be critical.
Non-alignment with industrial policy priorities or failure to demonstrate collaborative capacity may disqualify bidders in future tenders.
