About the course
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, is creating opportunities for organisations to transform their operations. As digital technologies and manufacturing processes evolve, along with changing consumer preferences and a global push towards sustainability, businesses are supercharging their transformation efforts.
