The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) to establish the UAE’s second Industry 4.0 Enablement Center within UAEU’s District 4.0, as part of the country’s Technology Transformation Program.

The new center will promote Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) applications, sustainability best practices, and stimulate technology adoption and development across the manufacturing value chain. It will include an area to demonstrate cutting-edge technologies, a space for collaboration, as well as a testing and innovation lab – all to build in-country 4IR capabilities, to promote co-development and testing of technologies and processes, and to support the commercialisation and upscaling of new 4IR technologies.
