The International Centre for Industrial Transformation, or INCIT (pronounced as “insight”), is an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) institution which champions manufacturing transformation. As an independent non-profit entity, INCIT collaborates with both public and private sector manufacturing related organisations to support industrial transformation and enable global manufacturing to become more resilient, productive, and better positioned for future success.
