At the event, top global executives from Asia (Bangladesh and India), Europe (Germany and Switzerland), the US and Cambridge academics will be interested to see the shift from theory and causality to pragmatic insights correlation in big data. The What is to beat the Why.
Topics around big data insights and intelligence, connectivity and management, process automation and machine learning, and new material enablers will be discussed before economics and finance sessions in industry40 by experienced leaders looking at productivity gains, ROI of investments in 4IR, market timing and case studies.
"We are incorporating our longest running HVM Conference series into the brand new C4IR series which is global. C4IR is an EU trademark and the entity is looking to partner with organisations like the WEF, with which we have already made contact and large private sector companies and consultancies. This is for the long run. The topics are fascinating. Cambridge is a great place to begin this. Come and join us at Robinson's new exec centre for a top level high value industry40 briefing day." said Founder of CIR and C4IR, Dr Justin Hayward.
This unique Consortium for the 4th Industrial Revolution 2017 (C4IR) global event series and investor-business network provides the market access platform for understanding and investing, partnering and innovating in the 4th industrial revolution. In short, it is an ambitious platform to usher in the 4IR and try to understand the trillion dollar question of investment in it. Leading figures have said that the 4IR category will see exponential growth by enabling large productivity gains and new models. But when? And how? Who will benefit/lose out? At what ROI - and how do we calculate it? What are the real risks of cyberattack? What technical issues of deployment exist and how severe are they? What new business models will be used? Assessing winners and losers in a nonlinear change scenario is fraught; we will present a method and enable intelligent discussion.

Welcome from Director
We warmly invite you to join us in Cambridge, UK, to listen, discuss, understand, network, dine, meet, build relationships and invest or fund. There is a new C4IR membership network; we encourage you to join.
I am excited to launch C4IR’s network of exchange and global event series which will offer valuable support and market access to investors interested in understanding and investing in the fourth industrial revolution / industrie 4.0 technologies and new business models. With complexity and (cyber and investment) risk high, new business models unfamiliar, ROI and market timing unclear, technical challenges of IOT in context high, yet investment urgency very high, the C4IR investment network and briefing series is a global initiative to connect that I hope will resonate with the world’s 4IR corporate and financial investors, engineers and innovators.

*We have greatly simplified the pricing model. No more early bird and super early bird. No more category discounts. Just the best price with or without accommodation for busy people. Pricing, in keeping with 4IR situations, will vary by date according to an unpredictable model. For example, if sponsorship comes in, the price may be lowered. If time passes price may increase as spaces diminish. We have already been able to reduce prices by over £200 as momentum builds.
