Launched by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) – in partnership with the World Economic Forum – this report offers new insights and findings emerging from the Global Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) Initiative. The initiative aims to build the world’s largest data sets and benchmarks on the current state of manufacturing globally by accelerating the adoption of SIRI as the international standard for Industry 4.0 benchmarking and transformation.

The product of an 18-month World Economic Forum-EDB partnership, this report draws on data from close to 600 manufacturing companies across 30 countries to outline the current state of industrial transformation across different sectors. It presents detailed case studies on how different stakeholders – ranging from manufacturers to industry associations and governments – are actively leveraging the SIRI programme to accelerate their digital transformation journeys.

This report illustrates how the SIRI programme can benefit manufacturing stakeholders in three primary ways: by helping manufacturers with their transformation strategies; bolstering the efforts of technology and advisory firms to catalyse digital transformation among manufacturers, and supporting governments and industry associations in their sectoral planning.
