Powering The Next Industrial Revolution
About Us
Transforming Manufacturing Globally
The International Centre for Industrial Transformation, or INCIT (pronounced “insight”), is an independent non-profit that collaborates with both public and private sector manufacturing stakeholders to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge technologies across the industrial landscape. Our mission is to empower businesses, governments, and individuals to navigate the complexities of Industry X.0 and unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, sustainability, and growth.
Headquartered in Singapore, INCIT has developed globally adopted Prioritisation Indexes, including the Operational Excellence Readiness Index (OPERI), the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI), the Artificial Intelligence Maturity Readiness Index (AIMRI) and the Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index (COSIRI)—supporting manufacturers to connect, create, and innovate for the future of industry.
We believe that transformative change requires a multi-faceted approach, guided by deep expertise and a shared vision. That’s why we’ve assembled a world-class Advisory Board, a network of passionate Regional Ambassadors, and a dedicated team of INCIT leaders to champion our mission and support our global community.
