This policy brief explores how companies conceptualise Industry 5.0, how they prioritise its three pillars and which key challenges they encounter. In particular, it highlights the role of the company context in shaping how the pillars are interpreted and implemented. The brief seeks to provide policymakers and other key stakeholders with a picture of how companies engage with Industry 5.0 in practice, in order to inform approaches that support companies in aligning their existing and emerging practices with the objectives of Industry 5.0.
