Fourth industrial revolution and new challenges in post-pandemic world

This chapter addresses current issues of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in the situation of pandemic COVID-19 declining after necessary lockdowns that have been extremely burdensome for society and business in many countries. Valuable experiences have been gained at the national and international levels how to effectively fight pandemic and what to do in post-pandemic world to achieve new objectives. These issues are discussed in the context of the Great Deal and New Deal as well as New Green Deal proposed for realisation in the European Union. There are significant challenges concerning the societal and economic prosperity, business development, ecology, and quality of life of citizens. The recovery funds created in the European Union to be distributed among its members regarding some rules should effectively support the business rebuilding within a sustainable development strategy. It is postulated to shape properly the future of 4IR to offer advanced technologies supporting effectively required changes in post-pandemic world.
