Digital Interconnection and Intelligent Manufacturing
– Social Change and Cultural Transformation in Global Society

2018 Pre-Dialogue Forum

14:00-16:30, 6 December 2018

Fyvie Hall, 309 Regent St, the University of Westminster

Driven by information technology, the digital economy has changed not only the means of production but also people's lifestyles. The Internet has driven a shift in consumption and service patterns, as well as generating new productivity. With the deepening of this new round of the industrial revolution, global interconnected wisdom will inevitably build a human society with common methods of production, resource pooling and wealth sharing.

Countries are becoming rivals in smart manufacturing. From the Industrial Internet of the United States to Industry 4.0 of Germany and China Manufacturing 2025, in the integrated development of industrialization and informationization, the trend is to intelligent manufacturing. On the one hand, intelligent manufacturing brings about the transformation and upgrading of industry from automation and mechanization to synergy and intelligence. On the other hand, it also brings a wide range of social changes and cultural transformations to global society. Worldwide interconnected intelligent manufacturing will support the global allocation of production resources and unify production equipment. From this emerges the sharing economy and a constant fracturing and reshaping of the order and balance of the world.

In such an unprecedented technological, cultural and social transitional stage in world development, we are pleased to announce a forum on ‘Digital Interconnection and Intelligent Manufacturing: Social Change and Cultural Transformation in the Global Society’, initiated by the Global China Academy, Lau China Institute, King’s College London, the China Media Center of the University of Westminster, and the Agile Think Tank，the executive body of the China Management Science Society (CMSS). As the Pre-Global China Dialogue V event it is hoped that it will serve as an important opportunity to gain cutting-edge information and insights into intelligent manufacturing in the digital economy era, and build a platform for smart sharing and resource cooperation for all who are interested in related fields.

数字互联和智造
——全球社会变迁和文化转型

2018年对话前论坛

2018年12月6日14:00-16:30
Fyvie Hall, 309 Regent St, the University of Westminster

在信息技术的推动下，数字经济不仅变革着生产方式，也在改变着人们的生活方式。互联网推动了消费和服务模式的转变，产业互联网正在创造新的生产力和新的生产方式。随着新一轮工业革命日渐深入，全球互联智造势必构建起一个共同生产、资源统筹、共享财富的人类社会。

在这样的背景下，各国纷纷竞逐智能制造。从美国的工业互联网到德国的工业4.0，以及中国制造2025等，各具代表性的工业化与信息化融合发展路径中，发展趋势和重点均指向智能制造。智能制造一方面带来了产业从自动化和机械化向协同化和智能化的转型升级，另一方面也给全球社会带来了全方位的社会变迁和文化转型。全球互联的智能制造，将支撑全球统一配置生产资源，统一调度生产装置，由此社会经济形态也将进入共享经济，再到共同生产历程的重要转变，世界的秩序和均衡必将会不断地被打破和重塑。

处于当前这样一个重要的技术、文化与社会交织作用的转型阶段，由全球中国学术院、英国伦敦国王学院中国研究院、英国威斯敏斯特大学中国传媒中心、敏捷智库(中国管理科学学会的执行机构）一起发起的“数字互联和智造——全球社会变迁和文化转型”论坛，作为第五届全球中国对话的会前活动，希望提供一个观察展示数字经济时代智能制造世界前沿信息和探索研究的重要窗口，为相关领域志趣相投者建立一个智慧分享与资源合作的价值平台。
