Welcome to

The manufacturing industry is undergoing a transformative journey as a result of technological advancements, climate change and geopolitical tensions. As new industries and ecosystems arise in response to transformation in digitalisation, AI, robotics, and an ongoing energy transition among numerous factors, the workforce increasingly needs advanced technical and digital skills that typically haven’t existed in traditional operations. This is where collaborative efforts between policy makers, industry, research organisations and educational institutions can bridge the skills gap and ensure that the workforce is ready for the world of tomorrow.

The EIT Manufacturing Summit 2023 showcases the best-performing projects in the domain of sustainable manufacturing. As the largest European innovation community in the manufacturing sector, EIT Manufacturing has the knowledge, expertise and resources to develop and leverage pioneering technologies, access new business models, and engage in partnerships to improve European economic, societal, and environmental standards.

Sustainable manufacturing innovation in Europe: The role of skills to move the needle

There is an urgency in educating the workforce to fit the industry's current and future needs so to leverage the innovation and competitiveness of European companies. Ultimately, it is well understood that the right workforce set of skills is the core element that allows to move the needle forward towards more sustainable manufacturing innovation in Europe.
