Al Mansoori also stated “We are guided by the vision and directives of the state in promoting a culture of innovation and adopting the latest technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including 3D printing.

Innovation is used to strengthen the UAE’s position by achieving its vision by its centennial in 2071 to become the best country in the world.
