Dubai Executive Council gives green light to plan for 3D printing zone which will be located at the Expo 2020 Dubai venue

Dubai has announced plans to establish the first specialised 3D printing zone to further support the development of the technology in the UAE.

The plan was approved at a meeting of the Executive Council chairman by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The specialised, integrated 3D printing zone will be located at the Expo 2020 Dubai venue, a statement said.

It added that the 3D printing zone aims to attract entrepreneurs and investors to Dubai and provide opportunities for researchers to develop innovations using this technology.

The creation of this specialised zone supports Dubai’s 3D printing strategy that was launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which seeks to enhance Dubai’s position as global hub for 3D printing in collaboration with the private sector.

Sheikh Hamdan (pictured below) 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 global hub for future technologies and R&D.

“Today, we are launching the first specialised 3D printing zone to further support the implementation of Dubai’s 3D printing strategy and develop this technology in the local market.”

The Executive Council also approved a new higher education regulatory policy focused on attracting branches of international universities to Dubai.

Dubai has emerged as a preferred destination for higher education institutes and students by virtue of its strong educational infrastructure and favourable policies launched by the government to support the sector.
