This webinar discussed developing Industry 4.0 in Ukraine through academia-industry collaboration. The presentation covered establishing innovative ecosystems and Centers 4.0 at Ukrainian universities to improve training programs, conduct research, and increase engagement between universities and industry. Specifically, the establishment of a Center 4.0 in Odessa was highlighted for producing successful results in its first year like new training programs, conferences, and research awards. Lessons were shared about developing national Industry 4.0 strategies, integrating universities into local markets before EU programs, and the benefits of international collaboration for sharing best practices.
