In the past year, world-changing global events, geopolitical instabilities and economic uncertainty have been the only constants in an ever-changing world. As industries and businesses continue to adapt to a world in flux, manufacturing has managed to come out even stronger than before, and the International Centre for Industrial Transformation (INCIT) has strived to serve as a beacon for change within the sector.
Through benchmarking tools like the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) and new collaborative platforms like ManuVate, we have been able to carry out our mission of helping manufacturing organisations achieve impactful and sustainable transformation. And we’re just getting started.
As we wrap up 2022, we look back at some of the milestones and key developments that have provided opportunities for INCIT to effect lasting change this year. We look forward to driving greater transformation in manufacturing in the year ahead, to enable sustainable, efficient and revolutionary change in 2023 and beyond.
