Abstract
The impact of Industry 4.0, almost ten years after its introduction to industry and science, has encouraged the manufacturers to change their working environment, offer customized products and change the mind-set on the organizational level. In Croatia, so far there are only few examples its partial implementation in the industrial practice. That is why in this paper the overview of the current research about Industry 4.0 in Croatia previously conducted and companies’ readiness is given, as well as the results of the new research regarding the familiarity of the local industry with the new concept. The flaws of the current implementation procedure will be recognized and strategic guidance for the future steps will be given. Also, the importance of the local support from the various institutions, like government or universities, will be considered with the definition of their role during the transformational digitization process.
