PH needs national strategy for 4th Industrial Revolution

IT was more than two years ago when the World Economic Forum (WEF) first called global attention to the impending upheaval brought about by what is now known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a phenomenon characterized by a “fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres.”

The need to prepare for this upheaval finally came to the consciousness of Filipino policymakers this September, at least officially, when the government and the rest of the country observe the 16th Development Policy Research Month (DPRM).
