Upon completion of the programme, individuals become Certified SIRI Assessors, or CSAs, and are authorised to use the SIRI methodology and tools in their assessments.
The CSA Programme is designed for professionals from various backgrounds, including consultants, academics and industry experts, and provides a valuable opportunity for individuals looking to develop their skills and expertise in the area of Industry 4.0 and to make a contribution to the development of this important field.
Tech Hub CEO Bekzhan Mutanov said, "The launch of this program will allow the introduction of training tools for CSAs, which should help large Kazakhstani enterprises in digital transformation, identify their strengths and weaknesses. We are glad that the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) acts as a platform for the introduction and development of SIRI in Kazakhstan."

Klein added, "Using SIRI to create data evidence-based decisions for their digital transformation journey can help Kazakhstan make informed decisions about which technologies and strategies to implement, and how to allocate resources for maximum impact. By designing factories of the future and identifying specific technology drivers for Kazakhstan's industry segments, the country can better position itself for success in the global marketplace."
