The Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit will work together with MoIAT and UNIDO to
officially register World Industrial Day, under the United Nations (UN) framework, and work to establish it
alongside the 2024 edition of the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit that will be held in
Abu Dhabi.
Omar Al Suwaidi added, “The World Industrial Day will serve as a reminder that the industrial sector is
the bedrock of global economic progress and prosperity, reflecting the principles championed by the
Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit and its co-chairs. The initiative will invite nations to
reaffirm their commitment to developing a sustainable and environmentally responsible industrial
landscape, uniting every industry, organisation, and individual in a shared mission to build a more
inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.”
World Industrial Day aims to raise awareness, promote sustainable industrial practices, foster
innovation, recognise organisations at the forefront of the green agenda, and enable greater multi-
stakeholder collaboration. The initiative will drive efforts to decarbonise industry, reduce carbon
emissions, and facilitate energy transition to achieve net zero.
