Foreword Manju GeorgeHead, Strategy andImpact, 4IR Network,World Economic Forum Maroun KairouzManaging Director,World Economic Forum Year after year, the Fourth Industrial RevolutionNetwork Impact Report offers us an opportunity topause and reflect on the continued use of technologyto move the world forward. With new centres joining thenetwork, their ambition to pilot innovation deploymentand diversify our understanding of technologygovernance keeps growing, while continuing toplace people at the centre. It is in this context that wepresent the third annual Impact Report for the FourthIndustrial Revolution Network, which highlights theaccomplishments of the centres in the network fromSeptember 2024 to December 2025. skills for the digital age in Azerbaijan; from developinga framework for the quantum economy in Saudi Arabiato fostering collaboration through industry meetingsin Malaysia, the Fourth Industrial Revolution Networkremains committed to harnessing the incredible potentialfor change that technology offers and to spotlightinghow collaboration accelerates positive impact. The workhighlighted in this report represents a small part of thebroader efforts led by the Fourth Industrial RevolutionNetwork, offering a glimpse into the transformativeimpact technology can have on societies worldwide. As the number of centres and topics continuesto expand, so do the opportunities for collaborationand insight sharing. In today’s more fragmentedglobal context, such exchange is not just valuable,it is essential. We extend our thanks to all who haveengaged in the network so far. Across the globe, the Fourth Industrial RevolutionNetwork is demonstrating how technology canmeaningfully improve lives. From supporting the Serbiangovernment in creating digitalized public services for theconvenience of its citizens to training the workforce in The Fourth Industrial Revolution Network Executive summary The work of the Fourth Industrial Revolution Networkis built on the belief that technology is most powerfulwhen it serves people. Centres across the network operate with theunderstanding that different regions face differentchallenges and that meaningful impact requires localsolutions. This year’s work reflects that principle inaction, spanning five core thematic areas: transforminggovernment and public services; building skills andtalent for the future; leading industrial and economiccompetitiveness; advancing frontier technologies; andscaling impact through collaboration. Industrial competitiveness increasingly dependson coordinated, ecosystem-level strategies ratherthan isolated company-level action. Through cluster-based frameworks in Malaysia and Azerbaijan,and innovation-driven bioeconomy policy inTelangana, which aims to target $25 billion in regionalinvestment, governments deploy the centres to movebeyond fragmentation towards shared ambition andcollective progress. Frontier technologies from quantum systems tobioconvergence and orbital sustainability are reshapingwhat is economically and scientifically possible. Centresare ensuring that these technologies are governedwisely and adopted strategically. For example, in SaudiArabia, the centre established a structured frameworkto align stakeholders across government, industryand academia on the economic, policy and securityimplications of quantum technologies. Governments worldwide are under mountingpressure to deliver services that are faster, moretransparent and more equitable. Centres areresponding by supporting end-to-end digital reforms,from mapping entire national GovTech ecosystemsin Ukraine to eliminating paper-based bureaucracyin Serbia, demonstrating that coordinated legal,institutional and technical reform can transform thecitizen experience at scale. As economies evolve, so too must the workforce.Centres are forging stronger connections betweeneducation systems and industry needs, whe
