Here is the 300 billion project strategy
...
The UAE realizes that the previous three industrial revolutions were aimed at boosting production directly. As for the fourth industrial revolution, it is mainly based on the pillars of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, the Internet of things, blockchain systems, and fifth generation networks .. It knows well that whoever does not move quickly will miss the next train of development. During an unprecedented period of time, it was the breakthrough that revealed innovative thinking and thoughtful plans.
....
The strategy adopted the theoretical foundations and practical mechanisms to enhance the industries that keep pace with the developments of the fourth industrial revolution and their applications in all manufacturing sectors and to raise the level of industrialization.
...
And for that, the UAE is moving forward rapidly to move towards the future to achieve the happiness and well-being of its children, while realizing that one of the most important pillars of the success of the national strategy for industry and advanced technology is "individuals and their professional and economic culture."
From this standpoint, the state realizes that the development of national industry is no longer an investment luxury within the national economic system, but rather has become a strategic choice and an essential part of the economic diversification policy.
The UAE aims, through its national strategy in the field of industry, to support the growth of national industries, enhance their competitiveness, stimulate innovation, adopt advanced technology in industrial systems and solutions, enhance the country's position as a global destination for pioneering future industries, support the establishment of 13,500 small and medium companies, and increase spending on research and development in the industrial sector. From 21 billion dirhams currently to 57 billion dirhams in the year 2031, which is equivalent to 2% of the gross domestic product, and all of this achieves a major goal, the essence of which is to strengthen the UAE's position in the industrial performance competitiveness index from the current 35th to the 25th position within ten years.
