The AMETIC Industry 4.0 Commission, created in July 2015, was established to define a strategic approach to Industry 4.0 and to act as an intermediary between companies and the public administration. It currently has 77 member companies, and until now, Pablo Oliete of Cellnex Telecom held the position of president; Luis Ignacio Vicente del Olmo, representing Telefónica R&D, served as vice president.
The new president of the Industry 4.0 Commission has outlined the five pillars of the new Strategic Plan 2017–2020: a co-creation plan with the target industrial fabric for the Industry 4.0 transformation; a plan for the development of enabling technologies; a plan for the development of enabling talent 4.0; a plan for building and strengthening international relations and benchmarking; and a plan for communication and public/private collaboration to generate project awareness and pride of belonging.
