In September 2016, the Committee for Melbourne launched its Melbourne 4.0 Taskforce to help prepare Greater Melbourne for the accelerating speed of innovation & disruption that has catapulted us to the early stages of the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’.
In May 2017, the Committee announced the taskforce’s findings, which made it clear that if we keep progressing with ‘business as usual’, the future of our city may not be all that bright. In response, the taskforce identified nine strategic needs that we must address if we are serious about underpinning a liveable & flourishing Melbourne into the future...
