The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) in collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has planned to organize the annual Forum on Industry and Advanced Technology at the 2024 World Government Summit (WGS) in Dubai.
The forum, with the themes of “Transformation of Development,” “Future Economies,” “Sustainability,” and “New Global Shifts,” aims to shape sustainable industrial development.
The platform meeting aims to unite industry leaders and technological innovators to chart the paths of industrial development. It plans to facilitate knowledge exchange, establish strategic partnerships, and engage in discussions on technologies that will contribute to the decarbonization of the industrial sector, in line with the UAE’s Zero Net Initiative by 2050.
The forum supports the goals of the National Industrial and Advanced Technology Strategy “Operation 300bn,” which aims to enhance the growth and competitiveness of the industrial sector, stimulate innovation, promote the application of advanced technologies in industries, and solidify the UAE’s position as a global hub for future industries.
Through organizing the forum, the ministry aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable development practices in industrial processes, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 9, which focuses on building resilient infrastructure, promoting sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. This initiative aligns with the UAE’s plans for achieving sustainable economic development and the strategic goals of MoIAT to support the industrial sector through the application of advanced technologies, stimulating sector growth and sustainable development, enhancing UAE’s competitiveness, and promoting it as a regional and global center for future industries.
The Forum on Industry and Advanced Technology attracts political leaders, decision-makers, as well as representatives from the public and private sectors, who discuss topics related to advanced industries, the impact of technology on various sectors, and the strengthening of international partnerships.
During the forum, MoIAT will organize three panel discussions. The first panel, titled “Decarbonization Plan for the Industry post COP28,” will focus on the role of international cooperation in accelerating the decarbonization of industries and supply chains, in line with global efforts to mitigate climate change and achieve sustainable economic development. The panel will also discuss financing to support low-carbon sectors.
The second panel, titled “Technology Transfer and the Role of International Relations,” will assess the movement of technology at the local and international levels. It will focus on the importance of international cooperation in promoting innovation, technological solution development, transfer, and exchange, as well as promoting equal global access.
