The Middle East region has strong energy related, industrial, manufacturing and agro-manufacturing companies.
IR4.0 ME will look to these companies involved in key segments such as Energy and Environmental Protection, Industrial Metals, Manufacturing, Safety and Security, Logistics and Industrial Facilities, Maritime Industries as well as Training for Industry within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The economic stakeholders in the Middle East must be proactive in shaping this technology and dealing with any disruption. This requires global cooperation and a shared view of how technology is reshaping our economic, social, cultural and individual lives.
