Industry 4.0

The Industry 4.0 National Technology Platform - acting today as the Industry 4.0 National Technology Platform Association - was established May 2016 under the leadership of the Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI), Hungarian Academy of Sciences, with the participation of research institutions, companies, universities and professional organizations having premises in Hungary, and with the full support and commitment of the Government of Hungary.

The background of the initiative is that Hungary, too, is witnessing the advent of the era of a new technological change, when the internet based economy is transforming the very basics of the production and logistic systems. This process requires from all actors of the economy, especially from the key firms in the priority sectors defined in the Government’s Irinyi Plan, from the Hungarian institutional innovation ecosystem as well as from the economic policy makers of the Government, to build progressively bridges between the physical and digital worlds, to show a special readiness for innovative adaptation, find answers to challenges in a prompter way than any time before, including bold steps to be made concerning innovation.
