INDUSTRY 4.0 – Technologies and Investments
Industry 4.0 is the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, based on digitalization and preparing production processes for the adoption of new technologies. It covers aspects such as:
  1. Internet of Things (IoT) – Connecting physical devices to the internet for data exchange and process enhancement.
  2. Big Data and Analytics – Collecting and analyzing large volumes of data to improve decision-making and optimize production processes.
  3. Artificial Intelligence – Using algorithms and machine learning to automate tasks and increase efficiency.
  4. Automation and Robotics – Applying automated systems and robots to boost productivity and reduce the human factor.
  5. Blockchain – Transaction security. Transparency. Automation through smart contracts. Reducing operational costs.
A derivative of Industry 4.0 is the technological race between states. Some of the key questions in this race are Technological Sovereignty and the country’s Investment Landscape.
  • How to ensure technological sovereignty under global competition
  • Information security at the business and state level: strategies and tools
  • Digital independence: from import substitution to creating proprietary technologies
  • The investment landscape of Russia’s technology market by 2030
