The UAE’s industrial sector is playing a central role in advancing the country’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative, with a strong focus on sustainability, advanced technologies, and global investment partnerships, according to a senior official at the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology.
Osama Amir Fadhel, Assistant Under-Secretary for the Industrial Accelerators Sector, said the sector is a key pillar in reducing carbon emissions while improving efficiency and competitiveness across industries. On the sidelines of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026, he highlighted the ministry’s participation through the Make it in the UAE platform.
Fadhel noted that the industrial landscape spans heavy industries as well as sectors driven by artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced technologies. These capabilities, he said, help lower production costs, enhance operational efficiency, and support emissions reduction.
He invited local and international investors to take part in the fifth edition of Make it in the UAE, scheduled from 4 to 7 May 2026 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. The platform will offer incentives, financing solutions, and investment opportunities, alongside pathways to form international partnerships and access global markets serving more than three billion people.
The ministry is also strengthening collaboration with public and private sector partners to accelerate the transition to a green economy and reinforce the UAE’s position as a global hub for future industries.
Fadhel added that initiatives such as the National In-Country Value programme and the adoption of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies are helping build a competitive, resilient industrial ecosystem, supporting advanced manufacturing, national supply chains, and Emirati talent while boosting the sector’s contribution to GDP.
