• The European Commission is in the process developing a policy to define (and regulate) the forthcoming Fifth Industrial Revolution (Industry 5.0) to future-proof European industry. Under this new policy, which is still in the process of development, businesses will be expected to pursue productivity and efficiency but will also be required to place the well-being of the worker at the centre of the production process and use new technologies to provide prosperity beyond jobs and growth. This new policy, once enacted, will have a significant impact on both European businesses and international companies interested in operating in Europe.
• As a CoP5.0 Member, I am collaborating with European Commission, European industry and various government stakeholders on the developing policies in this space and on the acceleration of Industry 5.0 implementation in practice in Europe. In addition to this, I am also working with other members ranging from industry giants like Airbus, Daimler, Stanley Black & Decker, and Schneider Electric, to various government agencies from across Europe, to collaborate on joint actions and initiatives, setting the stage for future partnerships and EU-funded programs.

• The Digital Futures program was established with funding from the Victorian Government. This $6.5 million program focused on developing digital transformation strategies for Australia's digital economy and future workforce. The Digital Futures program covered a state-wide Hubs & Spokes network at more than 60 locations, an eCommerce Accelerator Program, Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute, a Cyber Defence Centre, and several research labs and groups provided by Deakin University. As Director, I addressed 35 targets across six milestones, meeting all key deliverables set by the Victorian Government ahead of schedule and under budget.
• The former Victoria’s Minister for Finance, Robin Scott, who assessed the Digital Futures Network stated the following: “This unique combination of a developed conceptual framework for universal digital service delivery with equality of access, utilising existing infrastructure and staff without the need to develop a new service delivery model, has the potential to both save hundreds of millions of dollars for the Victorian Government and accelerate their ability to digitise services. Hence, Deakin [University], through Dr. Muratovski's work, is uniquely placed to assist the Victorian Government in addressing a critical public policy and financial challenge.”
• As a part of this program, and in the midst of one of the worst inflation-induced downturns, I launched an eCommerce Accelerator Program on behalf of the Victorian Government. Victorian SMEs that participated in the program increased their revenue by an average of 60%.
• Victoria’s Minister for Higher Education, Gayle Tierney, who sponsored the eCommerce program, stated: “We’re proud to invest in programs that create new job opportunities for Victorians, support Victorian businesses to develop digital expertise, and ensure they are equipped to remain competitive on the global stage in the future.”
