Panel Discussion: Leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies for the future of the global economy, environment and society
•	What opportunities are being presented by the emergence of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies? What are policymakers doing to harness the potential of technological change in disrupting traditional industries?
•	How are these technologies being adopted across developed and developing countries? What efforts are being launched to help bridge the digital divide? What more needs to be done and how can the international community support these efforts?
•	With the ever-increasing emergence of 4IR technologies, what will be the impact on jobs of the future? Will these technologies negatively impact employment levels or create new jobs? And if new, more technical roles are required what can be done in terms of continuing education and up-skilling programmes to ensure employees are able to adapt to new and innovative technologies and be prepared for jobs of the future?
•	What can policymakers do to facilitate a culture of innovation?
•	How is the manufacturing sector evolving in line with technological innovation? What role can the manufacturing sector play in achieving sustainable, inclusive development goals and in contributing towards greater global prosperity?
