4 Building Capacities for Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development

5 The UNIDO Institute for Capacity Development Industrialization has the potential to help achieve a variety of social objectives such as high rates of employment, poverty eradication, gender equality, labour standards and greater access to education and healthcare. The sustainability of industrial development and long-term success, however, require substantial changes throughout society, in addition to prudent decision-making across many domains as well as a high degree of knowledge and capacity of professionals and government officials. If industrial policy is to achieve the twin objectives of promoting and sustaining industrialization, national stakeholders must understand and adopt a long-term view on processes of industrial development. To build the skills and capacities for tomorrow, we must start today The UNIDO Institute brings together some of the best thought leaders from around the world to provide knowledge and training for policymakers and experts on emerging global issues. The Institute: creates awareness of major global problems; presents best practices, particularly in the policy space; explores options for broader cooperation between different regions. The Institute is one of UNIDO s main instruments for promoting the organization s global forum function, particularly on issues such as industrial policy, manufacturing, environment and trade capacitybuilding. LI Yong Director General, UNIDO UNIDO believes that inclusive and sustainable industrial development is key for the successful integration of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development to ensure that future generations can flourish. The UNIDO Institute for Capacity Development engages all major stakeholders in a dialogue to identify stateof-the-art practices and to encourage knowledge exchange in the fields of industrialization and policymaking. 2

6 The UNIDO Institute Global Executive Programmes Most high-level policymakers involved in industrial policy formulation and implementation face complex challenges. To make informed decisions, they need an enhanced understanding of the underlying technical, demographic and structural changes that influence inclusive and sustainable industrial development. Adrian Soriano Cristobal Undersecretary for Industry Development and Trade, Policy Department of Trade and Industry, Republic of the Philippines What s important about this programme is, first, the calibre of the speakers - they are a good mix of international experts, and second, the participants themselves - most, if not all of them, hold key policymaking positions in their countries. The UNIDO Institute Global Executive Programmes seek to update and improve the necessary knowledge and skills to analyse, formulate and implement industrial policy reform. Under the guidance of internationally renowned experts and academics, high-level government officials are provided the opportunity to collectively deliberate potential solutions to some of the most pressing issues in industrial development today. The format allows for small circle discussions among top executives, high-level UNIDO staff and senior faculty from leading research institutions and universities. Manufacturing is about turning ideas and opportunities into products and services and underpins growth in developing and advanced economies Thematically, the UNIDO Institute Global Executive Programmes focus on issues of sustainable industrial development and manufacturing. Events held in 2011 and 2013 dealt with global strategies and negotiations towards green growth and industrial policy and manufacturing respectively. 3

7 Global Executive Programme 2013 The Future of Manufacturing From 2 to 7 June 2013, the UNIDO Institute for Capacity Development conducted a Global Executive Programme on The Future of Manufacturing. The programme, supported by the Austrian government, was held at Hernstein Castle, just outside Vienna. It hosted policymakers and government officials from 26 middle-income countries and focused on future trends in manufacturing and the latest developments in the sector. The executive programme enhanced the capacity of policymakers to effectively shape and implement industrial policies and respond to global trends and changes to promote the competitiveness of their manufacturing industries. It included workshops led by experts in manufacturing and industrial policy management, including representatives from academia, the private and public sectors, as well as UNIDO and its partner institutions. Participants learned about the potential of new technologies in manufacturing such as additive manufacturing, cloud computing, mechatronics and customizable materials. Presentations were held on solutions for sustainable and green manufacturing as well as on business strategies to respond to the challenges of the new industrial revolution. The programme also included sessions on global trade and investment patterns and their policy implications. Garth Strachan Chief Director Industrial Policy, Department of Trade and Industry, Republic of South Africa The programme was both informative and constructive and provided an important opportunity to network with senior policymakers from developing countries. Lectures were delivered by high-level policymakers, experts from the Universities of Cambridge, Berkeley, the Fraunhofer Institute and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, as well as by renowned authors on manufacturing from the Financial Times and the Economist. 4

10 The Future of Manufacturing: Trends and Policy Options The recent debate over the future of manufacturing has received international attention from politicians, private sector representatives and academics alike. Policymakers, who are still coping with the aftermath of the financial crisis and are seeking to stimulate highvalue job growth and achieve sustained economic recovery, have shown keen interest in boosting the competitiveness of their manufacturing industries. Sir Mike Gregory University of Cambridge There is renewed interest among policymakers in countries around the world in the role manufacturing plays within national economies, and a consequent focus on the potential of manufacturing strategies to enhance industrial competitiveness in the short, medium and long terms. Advancements in digital modelling, composite materials and biological research combined with increasingly integrated supply chains are driving the manufacturing sector s long-term development based on technology. Improving industrial performance thus requires a profound understanding of the underlying technological, structural and demographic changes that influence the evolution of manufacturing. The share of manufacturing value added in developing countries has almost doubled in the past 20 years At the same time, decisionmakers need to be aware of the various policy options available and learn about others experiences globally. Industrial policy needs to be both internally and internationally responsive, and best practices from some of the most successful modernizing countries and regions are key for developing their own strategies. In 2014, the UNIDO Institute for Capacity Development is offering an Executive Programme that provides such comprehensive insights and makes the necessary tools available to leaders to design and implement policies targeted at boosting the performance of their respective manufacturing sectors, both at the domestic and global market level. 7

11 Background Papers The following papers, produced by UNIDO, contribute to the current debate on manufacturing and serve as references for the programme. Emerging Trends in Global Manufacturing Industries The paper, written together with the University of Cambridge and the Centre for Technology Management IfM, discusses significant trends and issues for global manufacturing in the next years. It identifies global megatrends in manufacturing and outlines some of the enablers of future manufacturing competitiveness with a particular focus on science and engineering. 21 st Century Manufacturing This report, produced in collaboration with the Berkeley Roundtable on International Economy of the University of California, describes the efforts necessary to change the traditional approach to industrial development, from sector oriented strategies to positioning countries within global networks of production. It shows that the distribution of value chain benefits will depend much more on the producing country s position within value chains rather than on the type of goods it produces. Emerging Green Technologies for the Manufacturing Sector This report, which has been drafted jointly with the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research, focuses on how new technologies in the manufacturing sector can provide solutions to environmental problems while enhancing the competitiveness and productivity of middle-income countries. All three papers are available on the website of the UNIDO Institute. 8

12 Programme Outline The Programme targets high-level officials in Ministries of Industry and Trade from middle-income countries. The four-day training offers a dynamic mix of lecture-based and participatory learning sessions. It provides a unique opportunity to: Peter Marsh Former Manufacturing Editor, The Financial Times The world stands at the brink of a new industrial age, which will create many opportunities in manufacturing for those with the talent and imagination to capitalize on them. The changes will have a deep impact around the world. increase understanding of present and future technological developments in global manufacturing and their economic and social impact; raise awareness of the significance and ramifications of industrial policy choices and approaches to industrial policy management in the overall economic development process; discuss and analyse customized manufacturing strategies. Participants will acquire a better understanding of industrial policy management methods and tools and how to adapt and apply them successfully. Group discussions, case studies, simulations and exercises will enhance participants skills and improve their ability to effectively tailor economic strategies centred on industrial policy. Manufacturing in the 21 st century remains a key element of economic growth, trade, productivity and development To ensure scholarly excellence and strengthen the programme s practical weight, the workshops will be facilitated by experts in manufacturing and industrial policy management. This will include top-level experts from academia, research, the private and public sectors, as well as staff from UNIDO and its partner institutions.

17 Venue and Location The programme will take place at Hernstein Castle, conveniently located about one hour away from Vienna. The castle is situated on the outskirts of the Viennese Basin in the forested slopes of the Styrian and Lower Austrian limestone Alps. Its history dates back to medieval times: the castle protected the access road to Berndorf Village and the surrounding valley. The castle s foundations were set in 1727, replacing an old feudal estate. In 1789, the new owner, Baron Heinrich von Mueller, added the walled park with the lake. In 1856, Archduke Ludwig, a nephew of Emperor Franz II, asked Theophil von Hansen, one of the most renowned architects of his time, to redesign the castle, making it one of the most important historical sites in Austria. During the 1960s, the castle was extended to include the current seminar structures. Inside the castle, the historical rooms have been widely preserved. Today, Hernstein Castle is one of the largest seminar hotels in Austria and is only available to seminar participants. It therefore ensures a tranquil atmosphere for learning and working. Saadaldeen Ali Salim Talib Minister of Industry and Trade, Republic of Yemen There is recognition that manufacturing is possibly one of the fastest ways to raise the living standards in developing countries. Here we are looking at current trends and the best ways to actually implement the corresponding policies. Seminarhotel Schloß Hernstein Berndorfer Straße Hernstein Phone: (+43) (0)
