The Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI) (Arabic: الهيئة العربية للتصنيع‎) is an Egypt-based Arab military organization established in 1975 by Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar to supervise the collective development of the Arab defense industry. Following a gradual deterioration in relations between the AOI member-states, Egypt became sole owner of AOI in 1993. As well as meeting the requirements of the Egyptian military, AOI directs spare capacity to civilian programmes, including civilian transport and sanitation equipment; additionally, AOI has stated its intention of entering the wind power sector.
