Reinforcing its leadership role, the Authority signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit 2024, held at Abu Dhabi Business Week, underscoring Abu Dhabi's position as a global hub for industrial innovation. Among the agreements signed was an MoU with Global MICE Organization Limited (GMOLx) to organize an international conference and exhibition on industrial safety in Abu Dhabi starting in 2025. This event aims to provide a global platform to foster dialogue among industry leaders and policymakers, addressing innovative solutions to safety challenges and achieving sustainability in the industrial sector.
In another step to enhance the industrial sector's emergency preparedness, the Authority signed an MoU with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and Ambipar, a leading environmental and industrial solutions company. The agreement seeks to strengthen emergency response capabilities and risk management in industrial facilities, including the establishment of a specialized emergency preparedness training center in Abu Dhabi and the adoption of advanced technologies such as drones to improve inspection and assessment processes.
Commenting on these achievements, Brigadier General Salem Abdullah bin Barak Al Dhaheri, Acting Director General of ADCDA, stated that these partnerships represent a qualitative leap in the Authority's efforts to position Abu Dhabi as a global center for industrial safety.

We are dedicated to collaborating with our local and international partners to achieve a shared vision for a safer and more sustainable future."
