Lithuania: Pramoné 4.0

The Pramonė 4.0 platform resulted from a bilateral German-Lithuanian Conference on “Industry 4.0” held in Vilnius in May 2016. One year later, the Lithuanian Government officially launched Pramonė 4.0 aiming to increase and strengthen the competitiveness and productivity of the Lithuanian industry and to promote the integration of digital solutions and new technologies.

Following a bottom-up approach used for its design, the platform is implemented through a platform launched by the Ministry of the Economy of Lithuania. Key features of the Pramonė 4.0 platform include:

- A dedicated team, including including stakeholders from business and industry to guarantee successful operations.

- Thematic working groups that ensure smooth operations of the platform.

- A coordination group in charge of discussing and analysing the information provided by the thematic working groups.

- A Digital Innovation Hub that supports industries, in particular SMEs, by strengthening the integration of new digital technologies for business. Moreover, the Hub is essential for digital skills and strengthening Lithuania´s digital transformation pillar.
