This article analyses the adoption of digital technologies by a panel of Brazilian industrial firms in time. An ordered logistic regression model was used to relate modes of adoption to firm size, sector, capabilities and readiness levels to prepare for the future. Digitalisation levels are very basic in 2017. By 2027, most firms expect to move forward. Regardless of size and sector, more or less advanced modes of adoption are associated with higher or lower levels of capabilities and readiness. Two policy implications: policy must aim “moving targets” and be flexible enough to fosters firms at various stages of development.
