How can policy-driven digital technologies become the engine of innovation for European manufacturing? Researchers, industry experts, policymakers and funding experts come together to exchange insights and explore opportunities through concrete project showcases, cross-border collaboration stories, and interactive discussion.
At the heart of this networking workshop is the question of how policy-driven digital technologies can become a motor for innovation in European manufacturing. This is explored through concrete projects from the 2023 funding call for Digital Technologies, additional flagship projects and cross-border collaborations covering real-world application areas such as the Digital Product Passport, seamless identity coding of textile fibers, optimizing product design for ecodesign compliance, industrial process optimization, and more.
The workshop opens with a series of lightning talks presenting flagship projects and cross-border collaboration experiences. A fishbowl discussion then brings together project representatives to share insights and debate the opportunities and challenges of digital transformation in manufacturing within a European context.
An interactive session deepens the exchange and fosters networking and connections between research and industry practice.
The workshop closes with a dedicated look at cross-border funding opportunities, covering available options, key contacts, and concrete pathways for international collaboration, giving participants the tools to take their next steps beyond the workshop.
