The Government is ready to support enterprises coming into Industry 4.0

The Government determined to support in several ways enterprises that decide to digitize themselves - from providing advisory assistance to reimbursement of part of the costs.

The prospects for the Digitalization in a modern way at Kazakhstani enterprises were discussed by the participants of the V International Digital Forum “Digital Almaty” in the framework of the panel session on “Industry 4.0: from Automation to Digitalization”.

“We see that there is progress towards Industry 4.0, industrial enterprises express their interest, there is already a mental readiness to introduce IT technologies, robotization, and we hope that the instruments and actions taken by Government will have an effect, and will create the base to develop the industry, develop technologies and move forward,” said Vice Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development Dinara Shcheglova.

She recalled that last year, the Ministry, together with the Kazakh Industry and Export Center “QazIndustry”, initiated special seminars and surveys of enterprises. Also last year, amendments were made to the current law “On Industry”, which now includes the basic rules for Industry 4.0.

 “We have also reviewed measures of state support. The state reimburses expenses to implement IT. Regulations have also been adopted providing that if an industrial enterprise incurred any costs for the development of IT infrastructure at its enterprise, then it may expect to reimburse 50% of the costs by our Industrial Development Institute,” Shcheglova noted.

Currently, according to her, robotization development is being studied separately by Ministry. “We plan to draw up a robotization concept, a short-term plan for us, for enterprises for the next 2-3 years, provide for state support measures, and providing industrial grants is being worked out now,” the Vice-Minister specified.
