Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network 2023-2024

2205Innovating mobility with autonomous systems In a rapidly changing world, the way people and goods move are evolving. Autonomous systems have the potential to drive the future of mobility. The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Israel continues to support the Israel National Drone Initiative (INDI), through partnerships with the Israel Innovation Authority, Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel. This initiative aims to integrate drone and airspace management technologies to provide safe, fair and economically feasible access to airspace. The initiative sees drones as the future for disaster management, medical supply delivery, supply chain security and the delivery of public services. It aims to implement regulatory systems and digital technologies that allow such equitable access. The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution India, in collaboration with the Medicine from the Sky community, and the state government of Arunachal Pradesh, has established the longest-standing drone network in India. Through pioneering drone-delivery operations, this initiative has set a national precedent in catalysing the growth of the drone economy, contributing to policy decisions, and expanding primary healthcare access to some of the most remote regions in India (see case study 8).
