Dubai Media Office reported that the 3D printing zone will attract entrepreneurs and investors to Dubai and provide opportunities for researchers to innovate using this technology.
This new zone will serve the objectives of the Dubai 3D printing strategy, which was launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in 2016.
Dubai aims to enhance its position as a global hub for 3D printing through collaboration with the private sector, as well as raise its status as a global leader in shaping the future.
Commenting on the launch of the 3D printing zone, the Crown Prince said: “By launching such initiatives we aim to achieve a quantum leap in the development of future-oriented industries that can have a significant positive impact on sustainable development. This initiative is also part of our efforts to reinforce Dubai’s position as a global hub for future technologies and R&D.”
“Today, we are launching the first specialized 3D printing zone to further support the implementation of Dubai’s 3D printing strategy and develop this technology in the local market.”
