Summary Report Introduction: This document reports on the activities of the “Symposium and Workshop on Technology Roadmaps to Promote Industry 4.0 in Developing APEC Economies” and comprises 2 main sections: 1. The first one, “policy recommendation paper”, analyses the speakers’ presentations, the panellists’ discussions, and the reactions of the public to draw conclusions about the Public Policies that APEC economies may implement to foster SME adoption of I4.0 (Industry 4.0) technologies and the role of Roadmapping in this process. 2. The second one, “workshops results” analyses the workshops outcome to draw conclusions on how Roadmapping can be used for the purpose of fostering I4.0 technology adoption in SME in APEC economies. The background of the project is: Emerging APEC economies face challenges to adopt industry 4.0 technologies and to engage into technology intensive global value chains. Coordination and alignment of key stakeholders (from government, academia and industry) within the sector is essential to face these challenges. In that context, Technology Roadmapping (TRM) is a widely known methodology that can be used to align the public and private agenda for technology, innovation and public policies planning with a common vision developed between stakeholders. This project aims to encourage SMEs to adopt 4.0 technologies in strategic industries for APEC economies, in order to make them more competitive and productive. The structure of the report is shown below: • Policy recommendation paper o Industry 4.0 o Roadmapping • Workshops results o Methodology o Drivers o Value o Resources o Roadmap for implementing a roadmapping programme for I4.0 in SMEs 4
