The BRICS Manufacturing and Production Working Group was established to accelerate the digitalization of industrial processes across member states. Its primary focus is on implementing technological solutions and developing shared policy frameworks to enhance cooperation and coordination among BRICS countries.
The working group emphasizes the importance of designing comprehensive and joint programs for the development of digital tools and applications across various industrial sectors. Policy integration and the creation of shared digital infrastructure are considered essential to accelerating the digital transformation of manufacturing systems within BRICS.
Expanding specialized training programs—particularly online and distance-learning courses—is regarded as a critical instrument for preparing the workforce for industrial digitalization. In addition, the working group highlights the role of governments in supporting digital technology companies through targeted financial incentives and effective regulatory frameworks, thereby increasing the pace of digital transformation in the manufacturing sector.
