How can we integrate small and medium sized enterprises, and entrepreneurs in 4IR innovation and preparation? Fourth Industrial Revolution Strategy Challenges How ready is the national industrial base to compete in a digital future? Where are we best positioned to establish a sustainable competitive position in the 4IR landscape? What skills will the workforce require for use to thrive in the future environment? How can we most productively manage the social, cultural, and regulatory, impacts of the 4IR?
