‘GMIS, a platform for UAE to build global alliances’

ABU DHABI / WAM

The Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit (GMIS), set to begin on March 27 in the UAE capital, provides the UAE with a political platform to build global alliances to achieve strategic goals in the industrial sector, according to Chairman of the Department of Economic Development–Abu Dhabi (ADDED) Ali Majid Al Mansouri.
“With its global partnerships with the world’s leading industrial organisations, the GMIS will give the UAE a unique opportunity to benefit from this network in its internal and external industrial investments while also providing a platform for the UAE to consolidate its global role in leading the 4IR (fourth industrial revolution) applications and exporting them worldwide,” he said.
The GMIS, he noted, is also a real opportunity to brief world industry leaders on the trends and policies followed by the government of the emirate of Abu Dhabi towards a globally competitive industrial economy in the emirate. The global summit, he said, will also provide the UAE with an opportunity to achieve the highest level of connectivity and coordination with world countries and global firms in terms of industrial activities, so that each emirate can benefit from the capabilities and competencies of other emirates in a well-aligned effort to achieve economic integration.
“The wise insight of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for developing the aspects of an independent UAE economy was reflected in the solid foundations and strong pillars laid for the post-oil economy to with a focus on sectors that are based on technology and innovation, thus achieving sustainable economic development.”
