FDI Center managing director Andreas Dressler will be moderating a panel at this year’s Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) in Dubai on April 10. Entitled “How to Compete for Investment in industry 4.0”, the session will focus on the competition among countries, regions and cities to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) with a high degree of value and innovation, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The expression “Industry 4.0” is often used as a catch-all term for these types of activities, and the session will define what “Industry 4.0” really means and explore the requirements that a location must fulfill for becoming an attractive location for Industry 4.0 investment. 

This is Andreas Dressler’s sixth consecutive participation at AIM as a speaker and moderator. Hosted by the UAE Ministry of Economy, AIM is one of the leading global investment-related events, attended by senior government officials and corporate executives from around the world.
