The Global Manufacturing and Industrialization Summit (GMIS) has signed four Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with knowledge partners, recognizing the role of international collaboration and sustainability in the global manufacturing industry.
The agreements were signed with the Confederation of Employers and Industries of Spain (CEOE), the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI), the Manufacturing Association of Israel (MAI), and the National Industry Confederation of Brazil (CNI) to promote collaboration efforts through workshops, webinars, and bilateral exchanges.
The MoUs affirms GMIS role as a collaborative international platform for fostering industrial growth, advanced technology adoption, and sustainable economic diversification. By spotlighting the latest developments in Big Data, digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI), GMIS is convening the world’s major industrial players to usher in a new, sustainable era in manufacturing and industrialization.
