Was the Enlightenment more significant than the industrial revolution in shaping the modern world?

That is a matter of opinion. Enlightenment thinking is responsible for the way that modern democracies function, industrialization is responsible for the way the economy in those democracies (and in other 'modern' countries) functions. You could however argue that the form of industrialization that the industrial revolution started is already changing under the influence and possibilities of today's digital age; but that the democratic form of government that is a result of Enlightenment thinking still endures and will continue to do so for a considerable time. So it's debatable which of the two is more 'significant'; Enlightenment is at least more enduring.
