The advanced technology hub will play a central role in accelerating the digitalisation of the metal manufacturing sector, supporting the emirate's ambition to lead globally in next-generation industrial innovation. The Centre reflects a shared commitment to enabling manufacturers with Industry 4.0 technologies, empowering businesses to thrive in an increasingly digital and data-driven industrial landscape. The facility spans over 5 million sq ft within Metal Park's purpose-built industrial zone in Kezad, located approximately 8km from Khalifa Port. The centre is exclusively tailored to the needs of the metal manufacturing value chain, offering specialised infrastructure and digital environments to enable rapid prototyping, pilot testing and scale-up for Industry 4.0 applications.

Mohammad Al Kamali, Chief Industry & Trade Officer, ADIO, said: "Abu Dhabi is entering a new era of economic transformation where innovation, sustainability and advanced technology define our industrial future."

Together with ADIO, we are creating an enabling environment for industrial players of all sizes to develop, validate and implement cutting-edge solutions that augment Abu Dhabi's role as a leading global hub for advanced manufacturing." Set for completion in Q4 2025, the Centre will support Abu Dhabi's transformation into a globally integrated, export-driven economy, offering investors direct access to strategic partnerships, world-class infrastructure and a progressive regulatory environment, he added.
