I think it's a German made-up thing in analogy to Web 2.0. The decision-makers wanted to make clear that it's quite the quantum leap and therefore jumped directly to 4.0 (also fourth industrial revolution).
"The term was coined by Henning Kagermann, Wolf-Dieter Lukas and Wolfgang Wahlster and first made public in 2011 at the Hanover Fair."

- leonheld 3y agoAn incredibly amount of hype was/is generated in Europe in regards to this term. Not really the good kind, in my opinion, a lot of buzzwords being thrown around in the higher research centres and a lot of public money being spent on not-so-well-defined terms.
