The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has announced a new initiative aimed at supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and startups in embracing Industry 4.0 technologies.
As part of this initiative, DoT has issued a call for proposals for the “Industry 4.0 Baseline Survey Among MSMEs,” which is designed to foster digital transformation through the adoption of 5G and 6G technologies.
Initiative Overview:
The survey aims to identify and address the challenges MSMEs face in integrating advanced technologies.
By focusing on the capabilities offered by artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and high-speed networks, the initiative seeks to build a robust ecosystem that enhances the innovation and competitiveness of MSMEs.
Targeting at least ten sectors, the survey will provide insights into sector-specific needs and preferences, recognizing the diverse landscape of MSMEs.
The survey will cover five sectors each in the northern and southern regions of India over a 60-day period.
The findings will be instrumental in shaping policy interventions to facilitate the transformative adoption of Industry 4.0, thereby improving the competitive positioning and survivability of MSMEs.
Call to Action:
Organizations and startups are encouraged to submit their proposals by 11 June 2024 to participate in this transformative survey. For submission guidelines and more details, please visit Telecom Center of Excellence India Website.
This initiative marks a significant step towards preparing Indian industries for the future, leveraging the potential of cutting-edge technologies to drive growth and innovation.
