Covid 19 APPG

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Fourth Industrial Revolution was created by Alan Mak MP in 2016 to support and promote technology in Parliament. The group also works to build a large non-parliamentary community of business leaders, academics and other individuals interested in technology policy to connect with Westminster.

The 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' refers to the digital era where communication and connectivity are accelerated. This period is marked by breakthroughs in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and the Internet of Things. In May 2020, the parliamentary group released their latest report, which focuses on the impact of technology in the ongoing fight against COVID-19. The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº-Ventura CPAP project features on pp 42-43 of the report.
