Ministry of Economy Champions Innovation and Green IP at 4th 'Make it in the Emirates' Forum
The UAE Ministry of Economy reaffirmed its commitment to industrial innovation and sustainability during its participation in the fourth edition of the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ Forum, held recently at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi. The high-profile event, organized by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, ran under the theme ‘Advanced Industries. Accelerated.’
H.E. Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, led the Ministry’s delegation, highlighting the UAE’s forward-looking trade and investment strategy aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of national products on global markets. The Forum aligns with the country's broader objectives under the “We the UAE 2031” vision, particularly the ambitious target of raising non-oil exports to AED 800 billion by 2030.
“Our participation reflects the Ministry’s drive to promote innovation-driven, sustainable industrial development,” said H.E. Dr. Al Zeyoudi. “Through initiatives like Green Intellectual Property, we’re empowering local innovators, supporting clean energy sectors, and paving the way for a knowledge-based economy.”
The Ministry’s pavilion showcased several key initiatives, including projects under its Green IP program that integrate intellectual property with sustainability and clean energy. These efforts are designed to support startups, entrepreneurs, and industrial players looking to expand operations within the UAE’s advanced manufacturing landscape.
The event also served as a platform for the Ministry to engage with local and international private sector stakeholders, encouraging them to capitalize on the UAE’s pro-business environment and explore opportunities for localization and industrial growth.
By promoting innovation and fostering industrial partnerships, the Ministry of Economy continues to play a pivotal role in positioning the UAE as a global hub for future-ready industries.
