Policy Recommendation Paper The “Symposium and Workshop on Technology Roadmaps to Promote Industry 4.0 in Developing APEC Economies” consisted of 4 sessions. In each session, a Speaker made a 45–60-minutes presentation followed by a panel discussion (with 23 panellists in each session). The session was finalised by a Q&A sub-session in which the public was able to raise questions to the speaker and panellists. The sessions topics (see table 1) were focused on two key subjects: a) Industry 4.0, and b) Roadmapping. The analysis of the speakers’ presentation, the panellists’ discussions, and the reaction of the public in this report are analysed and presented following these two key subjects.
