Transitioning to a paradigm where smart manufacturing is the norm will bring significant benefits, including increased productivity, supply chain resilience, new business models and opportunities, highly skilled jobs and ultimately contribute to our net zero strategy,” he said. Al Amiri added: “We at the Department of Industry and Advanced Technology have used these principles to drive  
billion operation. Make it in the Emirates is our platform for connecting, driving acquisitions and leveraging local manufacturing in the overall context.”

Manufacturing in a Transitioning Energy System”: “Smart manufacturing is at the core of sustainable industrial development. As a global hub for advanced manufacturing and innovation, the UAE is an ideal platform and testing ground to develop new solutions and revolutionize existing production models.

“Through the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ campaign, the UAE is attracting some of the world’s leading technology and industrial companies to work in its industrial ecosystem. MoIAT invites industrialists, innovators and investors from around the world to join us in our industrial transformation and help shape the future of intelligent manufacturing and pave the way for a more sustainable future. The Department of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) is prioritizing the rollout of advanced
technology and smart manufacturing as part of the Operation 300bn national industrial strategy. The Industry 4.0 program, which supports the adoption of Fourth Industrial Revolution solutions across industry, is one of the key pillars of the UAE’s industrial strategy.

The recently announced Technology Transformation Program is another integral part of the UAE’s efforts to foster digital transformation.
