The first revolution helped humans to mechanise production with the power of steam, the second was made possible by the use of electricity and brought with it the era of mass production. The third revolution made use of electronics and information technology.

The sheer speed of current developments and the exponential pace of disruptive innovation are now marking the advent of a fourth industrial revolution characterised by unprecedented power for processing, storage, access to knowledge, and the blurring of barriers between physical, digital and biological spaces.

Capitalising on this phenomenon is the key to innovation and growth. From the emergence of connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) to ever-growing mountains of data, augmented reality, and the next frontiers.
