UAE Unveils Dh1B Fund to Boost Vital Industries Resilience

The UAE has unveiled a national initiative to support key industrial sectors with the introduction of a Dh1 billion fund. The decision was approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Sheikh Mohammed announced the initiative, stating: “We have approved a package of initiatives and decisions to support the national industrial sector, including the establishment of a national fund worth Dh1 billion for industrial resilience, aimed at advancing the localisation of vital industries, strengthening supply chain resilience, and accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies in production, operations and planning.”

The ambitious fund aims to fast-track the localisation of essential industries, enhance the resilience of supply chains, and promote the integration of artificial intelligence into production processes, operational frameworks, and strategic planning.

Particular emphasis will be placed on critical industries associated with national priorities, including food security and essential manufacturing. Strengthening local production capabilities and building strategic reserves of vital industrial goods are key objectives of the initiative.

The fund also intends to support value chains across priority sectors, ensuring their strength and reliability in the face of global challenges. The integration of artificial intelligence is expected to drive predictive analytics, improve risk management, and enhance operational efficiencies for industrial entities, enabling them to better adapt to shifting economic and geopolitical landscapes.
