New Delhi: The government on Wednesday announced a new initiative to help Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and startups adopt emerging technologies for their ‘Industry 4.0’ transformation.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has called for a proposal for Industry 4.0 a baseline Survey among MSMEs, that aligns with preparing industries for the advent of 5G and 6G technologies. It will aim at gauging challenges faced by MSMEs in adapting to Industry 4.0 and utilising advanced technologies.
“The survey will aim to lay the groundwork for a robust ecosystem capable of capitalising on the capabilities offered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing and the integration of 5G and 6G networks,” said the DoT. The aim is to identify sector-specific needs in at least 10 sectors and preferences, recognising the diverse landscape of MSMEs.
