Empowering European Manufacturing through AI and Data Excellence
This high-impact session aims to identify and debate the most pressing and promising business trends reshaping European Manufacturing. With a spotlight on the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), data operations management, and interoperable data sharing, this session explores how smart use of data is revolutionising production systems, enabling sustainable growth, and creating strategic advantages. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how data-driven operations are becoming a cornerstone of industrial competitiveness. We’ll explore the significant value unlocked through Data Spaces, Digital Twins, and AI-driven decision support, with a focus on real-world applications and measurable outcomes.
Key themes include:
- The adoption of European Data Spaces and their role in building trust and transparency in cross-border manufacturing collaboration.
- The increasing relevance of AI governance and compliance, including the emerging regulatory and strategic role of the European AI Office in shaping ethical, trustworthy, and human-centric AI in industrial contexts.
- Trends in market innovation, highlighting how data and AI are enabling new business models, accelerating time-to-market, and fostering resilience in supply chains.
- A critical look at the risks and shortcomings represented by data silos, interoperability challenges, and the AI skills gap.
