Industry 4.0 – trends and changes
New technologies, changing framework conditions, and other drivers of change are creating new conditions for maintaining and strengthening the competitiveness of trade and industry. Companies and employees are already encountering new production methods, products, and services. This places new demands on competences and skills and raises the question of how we can best develop companies and create innovation
