Since its establishment in 1976, the Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting (GOIC) has worked to establish industrial development in member states and to enhance industrial cooperation and coordination.
It has contributed to supporting integration in the Gulf industry through many studies and reports, presenting industrial investment opportunities and joint industrial projects, and presented the first unified strategy for industrial development for the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, which strengthened general industrial policies in the region. It also presented the Gulf industrial map that defined the industrial sectors.
