Mauritius 4.0 ecosystem, in the context of Indian Ocean Rim 4.0 (IOR 4.0), Africa 4.0 & World 4.0, must respond to the megatrends of futuristic digital transformation which are causing profound shifts across all industries. Accelerated effort is required, since most companies are estimated to be at Industry 2.5/3.0, to focus on bridging the gap, leveraging on the unknown and yet constantly emerging and meaningful exponential technologies.
