Abstract

By 2023, it is estimated that more than 29 billion devices will be connected to Internet Protocol networks across the globe, most of which will be creating data in real time. Once combined with big data, 5G or artificial intelligence, they enable the automation of entire business processes, paving the way to a data-driven economy. The study analyses patent applications that constitute the building blocks of this Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The data presented offer insights into which countries, companies and regional clusters are leading the way in 4IR technologies. By highlighting the fields that are gathering momentum and the cross-fertilisation taking place between these fields, it provides a guide for policy and business decision makers to direct resources towards value creation in the digital era.
