The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) has unveiled the Industrial Technology Transformation Index Use Case Guide 2.0, a practical resource designed to help UAE manufacturers accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies and strengthen operational resilience.
Developed in partnership with EDGE Group, one of the world's leading advanced technology and defence groups, the guide builds on its first edition and features more than 30 high-impact use cases across key industrial sectors. It offers manufacturers clear, actionable pathways to deploy advanced technologies, reduce disruption risks, and scale transformation with greater speed and confidence.
The guide draws from on-ground factory assessments, industry engagement, and collaboration with strategic partners, making it applicable to companies across varying levels of digital maturity.
Hasan Jasem Al Nowais, Undersecretary of MoIAT, said the launch reflects a national conviction in the role of advanced technology as a driver of industrial growth, and aligns with the UAE Cabinet's recent endorsement of artificial intelligence adoption in production, operations, and planning. He noted the guide is designed to help companies move from limited experimentation to large-scale implementation, strengthening supply chains and positioning the sector for global competitiveness.
"Resilience is no longer measured solely by size or production capacity, but by the ability to ensure operational continuity, secure supply chains, and respond confidently to evolving challenges,"
Al Nowais added.
Hamad Al Marar, Managing Director and CEO of EDGE Group, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to placing the UAE at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, embedding innovation at the heart of the country's industrial future.
The guide supports the objectives of the National Strategy for Industry and Advanced Technology and the Make it in the Emirates initiative.
