Welcoming the launch of World Industrial Day, H.E. Gerd Müller, UNIDO

Director General said: “Modern industry is key to sustainable

development! World Industrial Day will mark our commitment to advancing
inclusive and sustainable industrialization for economic growth for all, while

preserving our environment and climate.”

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.

H.E. 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.
