“…In addition, risk-based regulation may be embraced to identify and assess potential risks associated with Construction 4.0 technologies and develop targeted measures to mitigate those risks, ensuring a balance between innovation and risk management (Hanna et al, 2022). In this context, governments must challenge their current stance towards uncertainties in regulatory risk management processes.…”

“…Yet, legal and regulatory frameworks are often built on a distinction between goods and services. At question is whether the regulatory frameworks and regulatory capacity of governments are fully equipped to handle the servitization of the construction industry (Hanna et al, 2022). A related obstacle is using technologies such as BIM and artificial intelligence, which may bring contractual uncertainties.…”

PurposeBy providing an overview of the existing knowledge on public governance in the context of Construction 4.0, this review serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers and practitioners interested in understanding the current state of public governance in the context of Construction 4.0 and identifying avenues for future research and practical implementation.Design/methodology/approachThis article presents a systematic and comprehensive review of the academic literature on public governance in the context of Construction 4.0. To ensure a systematic and rigorous selection of source material, the study adopts the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.FindingsBy examining a wide range of scholarly works, the review identifies and discusses eight recurring themes that are crucial for understanding the role of public governance in Construction 4.0. These themes include policy and regulation, infrastructure and investment, skill development and education, digital inclusion and access, collaboration and partnerships, data governance and privacy, interactions with environmental and societal goals and the impact of Construction 4.0 on public governance itself. The review highlights a significant disparity between the normative debates on the importance of public governance in Construction 4.0 and the empirical knowledge available regarding its practical implementation. While the literature emphasizes the need for effective governance mechanisms to address the challenges and opportunities presented by Construction 4.0, there is a notable lack of empirical research examining the actual implementation and outcomes of public governance strategies.Originality/valueThis is the first systematic review of academic literature on public governance in the context of Construction 4.0.

“…The stakeholders involved in HRC are strongly influenced by how traditional automation functions in terms of both safety and efficiency. 60,61 For small and medium-sized enterprises, it can be a challenge to comply with complex laws and regulations. An additional challenge lies in the fact that greater stakeholder participation will make future safety decision-making even more challenging than it already is.…”

Safety plays a key role when implementing collaborative robots (cobots) in human-shared workspace scenarios. Nevertheless, the significance and understanding of safety-related aspects may significantly vary with different stakeholders’ perspectives. In particular, there is often a misconception that cobots are inherently safe with the result of significantly underestimating the need of adopting adequate safety measures and features for the deployment of collaborative robots in industrial and non-industrial frames. Accordingly, this article develops an in-depth analysis of the stakeholders and their stakes in human–robot collaboration in the manufacturing industry with particular attention to the safety aspects. The proposed approach consists of a field study, with an online questionnaire and structured interviews, directed at the main stakeholders. The field study results are presented and compared with insights from two recent explorative studies. Finally, careful analysis and discussion is provided. This research focuses on three topics: (i) the specific phases in the collaborative robot application cycle, (ii) the stakeholders that are involved in each phase, and (iii) the stakes that affect the stakeholders in general, and specifically the role of safety within these stakes. The findings show that awareness of safety issues is still jeopardized between stakeholders. In addition, key stakeholders still significantly underestimate safety-related issues when implementing cobots in new production lines. This implies the need for objective assessment tools that can systematically address and assess all safety-related aspects. This study provides industry practitioners with a broader view of how different stakeholders regard safety-related aspects in the cobot life cycle. This will enable more informed decision-making when implementing cobot solutions and potentially avoid unconsidered safety risks later on. This article also adds to the scant research on the role of each stakeholder in human–robot collaboration.

“…Thereby, systems gain the self‐optimisation ability and become more resilient than conventional or age‐old manufacturing systems (Hassoun, Anusha Siddiqui, et al, 2022; Hassoun, Marvin, et al, 2023). In a nutshell, Industry 4.0 represents an integration of the internet of systems (IoS), IoT and cyber‐physical systems (CPS) (Hanna et al, 2022). CM sector integration with Industry 4.0 will enable automated production systems to become smarter and able to accomplish complex decision‐making and tasks (Nikolić et al, 2022).…”

Industry 4.0 integrates the physical, digital, and biological realms by applying digital automation in systems, processes, and manufacturing facilities. Industry 4.0 is actively shaping the development of intelligent food processing industries in cultivated meat (CM) sector. This integration plays a crucial role in accelerating progress within the global CM sector, facilitating the achievement of its objectives related to food sustainability, security, human health, environmental concerns, and hygiene. Incorporating Industry 4.0 into CM manufacturing systems empowers upstream and downstream production processes to become more intelligent and capable of self‐optimisation. However, enabling rapid adoption of Industry 4.0 by emerging startups and small to medium‐sized enterprises in the CM industry necessitates a thorough understanding of prerequisites and evaluation of technological and biological limitations. Challenges include the substantial initial costs associated with establishing Industry 4.0 infrastructure, robust cybersecurity measures to ensure effective risk management, and acquiring skilled professionals proficient in both operational and maintenance roles. Integrating Industry 4.0 with the evolving CM sector presents an exciting opportunity to foster business‐to‐business investments across various domains, including local markets, export opportunities, and the broader global consumer ecosystem.
