Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, affirmed that the economic strength of nations rests on advanced industrial systems, emphasizing that the “Made in the UAE” initiative represents a firm national commitment to increasing production and enhancing global leadership.

Dr. Al Jaber shared an innovative video on his official social media accounts, produced entirely using artificial intelligence technologies, showcasing the future vision for the industrial sector in the UAE. He commented, “Every strong economy is based on a strong industrial system.”

The video explained that industry in the UAE is no longer traditional, but has transformed into a smart, digital system that relies on artificial intelligence as a new standard for production and sustainability. This approach aims to enhance the readiness of supply chains and boost operational efficiency across all stages of manufacturing, ensuring the resilience of the national economy and its ability to adapt to global changes.

The video highlighted several vital sectors that are a priority in the UAE’s industrial strategy, including food and pharmaceutical security, through boosting local production to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on imports.

It also noted that the energy and advanced industries sector relies on employing modern technology to enhance competitiveness and quality, while supporting global economic resilience and solidifying the UAE’s position as an attractive hub for industrial investments and a key transit point for international trade routes.

The video emphasized that the UAE believes in results, not words, where opportunities are measured by contracts and progress by production volume. These initiatives are part of an integrated system that combines technology, trade methods, and national talent capable of leading the innovation drive.

The release of this video precedes the upcoming “Made in the UAE” forum, scheduled to be held from May 4 to 7, 2026, which is expected to witness the announcement of new strategic partnerships and major manufacturing contracts that support the country’s vision for the next fifty years.

Through these efforts, the UAE seeks to build a robust industrial sector that effectively contributes to the GDP, supported by the latest global technologies, thus ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
