The ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ is the era for promoting
‘smart manufacturing’, ‘digitilisation’, ‘industrial internet’ and ‘integrated industry’
What is the 4th Industrial Revolution?
Coined by the World Economic Forum (WEF),
the 4th Industrial Revolution is an umbrella term
used to cover multiple technologies that, taken
together, will potentially revolutionise many
aspects of work, life and business.
Industry 4.0 is transformational for society as the
entire manufacturing and supply chain will be
radically changed. This will in short, affect the
way goods are designed, manufactured,
delivered and payed.
IR4.0 ME will serve to develop a ‘big-tent’ by bringing together thought leaders contributing and
leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution alongside companies and entrepreneurs who are
innovators and practically involved in implementing IR4.0 to exchange ideas and showcase their
products and expertise.
