The paper is devoted to research of convergent technologies as a key factor in solving global problems in the new industrial revolution. It is shown that the concepts of the new industrial revolution, which today are widely used by Western scientists, also envisage the convergence of sciences and technologies and the creation of advanced manufacturing technologies on their basis. It is only possible to launch Industry-based trends in Industry 4.0 through the introduction of advanced manufacturing technologies based on convergent technologies. The approach to the periodization of scientific and technical development, which links the economic, technological and socio-political factors of development, as well as characterizes the structure of the sixth technological structure, the vision of the content of the new industrial revolution based on the organic combination of convergent NBIC-technologies with key factors, as well as approaches to solving global mankind issues are proposed.

Methodical approaches to the creation of NBIC technologies for a system of intellectual support of innovative activities of industrial enterprises (SISIA IE) of the second integration level as a complex of research, educational and production units that generate high-level intellectual products for the operating and innovative production were considered. As examples of integration model realization have been given the functional nanomaterials based on polymer, oligomer matrices and blends for protective, sealing and tribotechnical systems of machines, mechanisms and technological equipment of industrial enterprises and enterprises of the chemical industry
