– HV Scheel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantum technology, nanotechnology and bioinformatics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Driven by new technologies such as quantum technology, nanotechnology and bioinformatics; climate change and changing customer expectations, the coming decades will see rates of change and disruption \u2018not previously seen in our civilisation\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Innopharma Education wanted to bring together the biopharma business community, education leaders and government stakeholders to address the future skills needs of the industry as we enter a new decade, and look ahead to how exponential changes in technology and society will change how we live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is clear from the day\u2019s discussions is that the need for ongoing learning and upskilling throughout careers is going to be critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opening the day\u2019s event with a speech on government investment in upskilling and lifelong learning, Minister Mary Mitchell-O\u2019Connor outlined how the government is committed to increasing its funding for lifelong learning through programmes like Springboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key learnings from a day of focus on Industry 4.0:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
- While the fourth industrial revolution will be driven by new technologies, it will be centered around people and their ability to change and adapt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- There has never been a better time for Ireland\u2019s hi-tech manufacturing industry to embrace new ways of working, processes and innovation, increasing competitive advantage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For individuals, the need to always be learning and keeping skills relevant will not decrease, in-fact it will increase. However, learning and education models will need to change to suit people working full time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ireland\u2019s pharma, medtech and food industries will continue to dominate investment in our manufacturing sector, and as such are great places for engineers and scientists for focus for career development.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
