Germany: The UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) will lead the UAE delegation to the 2023 Hannover Messe, the world’s largest industry trade fair, from April 17–21, in Hannover, Germany.
The delegation will host a roundtable with the private sector and participate in panel discussions on the UAE’s value proposition as a global industrial hub, encouraging future investments.
The country’s delegation at Hannover Messe include MoIAT, the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED), ADNOC Group, Abu Dhabi Investment Office, KEZAD Group, and Dubai Industrial City.
A roundtable, themed “Make it in the Emirates: The UAE as a Global Industrial Hub,” will be chaired by Mr. Omar Al Suwaidi, Under-Secretary of MoIAT, along with the ministry’s partners, hosting German and European companies. The roundtable will shed light on the UAE’s industrial ecosystem and vision for growth and how German companies can benefit from collaborating with UAE entities and from the incentives available to investors. The roundtable will also highlight how industrial investors can benefit from offtakes provided by national champions to de-risk their investments.
The UAE team will further host a panel session titled “The UAE: A Solution for Global Challenges”. This session will highlight the UAE’s industrial value proposition and enablers, including green financing, certified green energy supply, robust regulatory infrastructure, access to markets with the growing number of free trade agreements, and more.
Hannover Messe welcomes 4,000 companies from all over the world, representing a variety of industrial sectors, including technology. The UAE has plans to diversify its economy by enabling and growing the industrial sector. To enhance the competitiveness of UAE industry globally, the country is focused on deploying advanced technologies, such as robotics and Artificial Intelligence within industry.
Furthermore, the UAE’s industrial decarbonization efforts, as part of its 2050 Net Zero targets, open an array of investment opportunities. These opportunities are a result of the UAE’s heavy investment in the development of advanced technologies, paving the way for green industries of the future and new technologies to tackle climate change, such as carbon capture.
