Tawanda Musarurwa
Zimbabwe’s implementation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) will be guided by the Smart Zimbabwe 2030 masterplan initiated last year, Information Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister Jenfan Muswere has said.
4IR is the latest stage of the industrial revolution, which is technology-driven. In this regard, technological innovation is expected to lead to significant supply-side growth, with long-term gains in efficiency and productivity.
Minister Muswere said the Smart Zimbabwe strategy document, the country’s new ICT masterplan, will provide guidance regarding the specific innovations that Zimbabwe’s industries will utilise in the digital future.
