\"Serbia<\/a> <\/div>\n

Belgrade, Serbia, February 11, 2022 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ The Republic of Serbia and the World Economic Forum have established a Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network in Serbia (C4IR Serbia). The Centre will be an autonomous non-for-profit organisation, leading on policy and governance for emerging technologies.<\/p>\n

The document was signed by Jeremy Jurgens, Managing Director, World Economic Forum, and Mihailo Jovanovi\u0107, Director, Office for Information Technologies and eGovernment, Government of the Republic of Serbia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strong partnership between the Republic of Serbia and the World Economic Forum has reached a new level and I am very proud that today we are launching a Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Serbia (C4IR Serbia). This Centre is another step towards digitalization as Serbia\u2019s top priority. It will help us adopt the most cutting edge policies and solutions developed with partners from all over the world. Key areas of Serbia\u2019s C4IR will be AI and Bioengineering \u2013 two areas already recognized in Serbia as critical for future economic growth. Our close cooperation with the World Economic Forum also contributes to Serbia\u2019s international recognition as a global hub for research and development in new technologies,\u201d said Ana Brnabi\u0107, Prime Minister of Serbia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to see that Serbia has joined the Forum\u2019s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network,\u201d said B\u00f8rge Brende, President of the World Economic Forum. \u201cInnovation is the key to fulfilling our shared priorities of sustainability, equity, and resilience. The new Centre in Serbia will join a growing platform as a focal point for advancing innovation and industrial transformation. \u201d<\/p>\n

C4IR Serbia will be formed inside the Government Office for IT and eGovernment, a top-level Government institution directly reporting to the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

The ecosystem developed around the Center will leverage existing infrastructure such as the national platforms for AI development, the Center for Genome Sequencing, and a planned bioeconomy hub \u2013 BIO4 Campus \u2013 to create solutions that benefit Serbian citizens.<\/p>\n

The Center will also engage with critical national stakeholders, like the National AI Institute and Institute for Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering, other Government institutions, and the private sector.<\/p>\n

An arena for public-private cooperation on Fourth Industrial Revolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has led to technological breakthroughs in many fields, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, IoT and robotics, 3D printing, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, among others.<\/p>\n

The Forum\u2019s global network is a platform for multi-stakeholder collaboration bringing together public and private sectors to maximize technological benefits to society while minimizing the risks associated with 4IR technologies.<\/p>\n

C4IR Serbia is the 16th centre to join a network that spans 4 continents.<\/p>\n

First Fourth Industrial Revolution Centre in the region<\/strong><\/p>\n

C4IR Serbia will be a platform through which the country will shape the development of local and national 4IR strategies and contributes to the global trajectory of these technologies. It is the first 4IR Centre in the Balkan region. It will become a hub of expertise to co-design and pilot future-focused policy frameworks that enable the development and deployment of ethical technology in the region and the world.<\/p>\n
