The Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) and the Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) have signed a memorandum of understanding.

Under the MoU, MBRSG will extend academic assistance to the ministry’s personnel, along with introducing creative training initiatives and research schemes.

The partnership corresponds with the objectives outlined in the National Strategy for Industry and Advanced Technology, which seeks to encourage administrative services while cultivating a climate of ingenuity within organisations.

The accord harmonises with MBRSG‘s role in enhancing the role of governmental bodies in enriching knowledge and empowering Emirati talent.

The MoU was signed by Dr Rashid Khalfan Al Nuaimi, assistant undersecretary of the Support Services Sector at MoIAT and Ali bin Sebaa Al-Marri, executive president of MBRSG.

Dr Al Nuaimi stressed that developing the capabilities of ministry staff aligns with the UAE’s vision and ‘We the UAE 2031’ plan. He noted that it contributes to boosting national cadre and workforce skills for the future, which enhances the readiness of vital sectors, particularly industry and advanced technology.

He also added: “The ministry aims to upskill its workforce and elevate administrative services in accordance with global best practices, while instilling a culture of innovation. This is achieved by providing staff with the best academic qualifications and practical applications, which is reflected in MoIAT’s services to partners and stakeholders. It also drives the Government Excellence Model to enhance the UAE’s competitiveness regionally and internationally.”

Dr Sebaa Al Marri said: “We are pleased to collaborate with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology to formalise our academic cooperation and support qualified and talented individuals.

As the entity entrusted with supporting the UAE’s industrial sector and enhancing the performance of the national economy, the Ministry’s goals and our mission and efforts to train and empower the leaders of the future are in alignment.

We are committed to working with various government entities, provide counsel, and facilitate specialised training programmes and executive education diplomas for government officials in all fields.”

As part of the MoU, ministry staff that meet the eligibility criteria will have the opportunity to enroll in academic programs and benefit from the discounts scheme.

Sponsored employees will receive an academic certificate upon successfully completing all program requirements. Ministry employees will also have access to specialised training across different fields to explore how knowledge management and exchange, as well as research methods for development studies, impact decision-making.

The ministry will support MBRSG with future industries policies that drive digital transformation and artificial intelligence in the sector. The policies also promote the adoption of the circular economy; the shift to clean energy; empowering small and medium-sized businesses; the role of industry in achieving sustainable development goals; food and agricultural technologies; innovation in industrial applications; and more.

MoIAT and MBRSG will also collaborate on strategies, governance, risk and knowledge management, research, studies and data analysis. The entities will host workshops, seminars and conferences to develop proposals and innovative programs that contribute to enhancing cooperation.
