The discussion was about the challenges we face for equipping ourselves as individuals and societies for digitalisation: “Are we really ready for Industry 5.0?” The event spanned one hour and aimed to discuss the realities in two different parts of the world regarding the fact that access to digital devices is a major issue especially in India, but problems after access are also crucial.
