Ahead of the launch of the policy guide, Commonwealth Secretary-General, the Rt Hon Patricia Scotland, KC said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am confident that policymakers across the Commonwealth will find this Guide informative and useful in understanding and harnessing new technologies and innovations to advance their digital industrial development.<\/p>\n<p>These advances create fresh opportunities to develop new and improved products, implement more efficient processes, and achieve more agile and resilient supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>They also highlight the need to address barriers and challenges which may hinder the effective adoption and use of these innovations, to ensure businesses across the Commonwealth remain competitive and the private sector is also able to drive long-term, sustainable economic growth and job creation.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the value of this policy guide to Mauritius, Hon Soomilduth Bholah, Minister of Industrial Development, SMEs and Cooperatives in Mauritius, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our endeavour to make a successful leap to the sphere of Industry 4.0, assistance has been sought from the Commonwealth Secretariat for a project on enhancing the capabilities of manufacturing enterprises to adopt high-end technology.<br \/>\nNew and emerging technologies and processes are changing and reshaping the ways in which firms manufacture products, the business models they adopt and how they continue to innovate going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Digital technologies are increasingly applied to, and integrated with, industrial manufacturing. This changes the nature of the industry and challenges the traditional interpretation of what constitutes industrial development.<\/p>\n<p>The CCA engaged leading experts in advanced manufacturing and industrial policy from across the Commonwealth in the production of this Guide and stands ready to assist Commonwealth member countries in further developing their knowledge of modern manufacturing and in implementing digital industrial policies. The Mauritius pilot program is a step towards this goal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
