    About the Program

    We are in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR). According to Professor Klaus Schwab, the Founder of the World Economic Forum, the speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent. When compared with previous industrial revolutions, the 4IR is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace. Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country. And the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance.

    A combination of cyber-physical systems, digital twins and the Internet of Things (IOT) make Industry 4.0 possible and the smart factory a reality. As a result of the support of smart machines that keep getting smarter as they get access to more data, factories are becoming more efficient and productive. Further the pace of these changes shows no signs of slowing down. There will be significant new opportunities as the underlying forces of Industry 4.0 and value creation are understood and leveraged. Succeeding in this rapidly changing world will require both a solid understanding of digital trends, smart manufacturing and innovative business models and an inspirational leadership style to be bold, take risks and lead complex change.
