Summary of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network Impact Report (January 2025)

Core Content

The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network (C4IRN) is a global initiative that brings together stakeholders to harness the power of technology for inclusive, responsible, and sustainable change. The 2023-2024 Impact Report highlights the progress made by the network and outlines the future direction of its work across eight thematic areas, including AI, agriculture, health, energy, mobility, workforce upskilling, investment, and partnerships.

The report emphasizes the importance of collaboration, innovation, and responsible technology application in addressing global challenges. It showcases the work of new centres launched in 2024, such as in Colombia, Kyiv, Qatar, Vietnam, and Oman, each with a specific focus to drive local and global impact.

Main Thematic Areas and Key Initiatives

1. Ushering in the Intelligent Age

• AI Literacy: The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Malaysia launched the AI for Citizens (AI Untuk Rakyat) programme to increase public understanding of AI and its applications.
  • Result: 1 million learners completed the course, achieving 100% completion rate.
• AI in Healthcare: The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Rwanda piloted a large language model (LLM) to support community health workers in remote areas, using a translation model for low-resource languages.
• AI in Energy: The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Azerbaijan introduced an AI and energy programme to optimize energy usage and support the energy transition.
• AI and Creativity: The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution UAE launched the AI and Creativity initiative and an AI Fellowship to foster collaboration among AI experts, innovators, and regulators.

2. Transforming Agriculture and Food Systems

• Alternative Proteins: The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Israel launched an Alternative Protein Initiative, developing a playbook for global adoption of sustainable protein sources.
  • Result: Over 80 start-ups in the alternative protein space participated in the initiative, with Israel accounting for nearly 10% of global investments.
• Digital Agriculture Framework: The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution India expanded its AI for Agricultural Innovation (AI4AI) programme, aiming to improve agricultural productivity and reduce environmental impact.
  • Result: 50,062 farmers, including over 45% women, saw an average profit increase of $800 per acre through a 21% yield improvement and 9% reduction in fertilizer and pesticide use.
• Scaling Agritech: The AI4AI programme was piloted in Telangana with 7,000 chili farmers, demonstrating the transformative potential of agricultural technology. The initiative is now being scaled to 500,000 farmers in India over the next two years.

3. Revolutionizing Health and Biotechnology

• Healthcare Data Sharing: The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Rwanda aims to create a centralized, secure repository for Rwanda’s healthcare data to improve access and treatment outcomes.
• Clinical Innovation Sandbox (CIS): The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Telangana launched a CIS in partnership with RICH to accelerate clinical and regulatory validation of health technologies.
