We have partnered with nine EU countries on Inno Industry, a project to help us better understand how prepared businesses are for digital transformation and to increase the support available to businesses.
Buckinghamshire Business First has joined forces with nine countries in the EU to work jointly on a new initiative called Inno Industry, which seeks to better understand if and how current regional and national strategies are helping businesses to become more digitalised, or to use the jargon - prepare for the ‘fourth industrial revolution’ known as ‘Industry 4.0’.
