In addition to Bridges 5.0, the Horizon Europe programme also supports other projects that look at Industry 5.0.

The EESC is an important actor in the European institutional environment, and Steven Dhondt has been providing it with an expert opinion on Industry 5.0.

Companies embracing the shift towards Industry 5.0 shift will experience both opportunities and challenges in transitioning to the human-centric, sustainable, and resilient future.

A very important task for Bridges 5.0 is to build a one-stop platform for learning, knowledge exchange and dialogue, absorbing and assimilating knowledge from across the Industry 4.0 & 5.0 spectrum. And now you can be part of it.

For the Bridges 5.0 project, we have completed the first reporting period. In September we will talk to an external reviewer, and will report on that in a future Newsletter. Right now, the focus is on further impact generation.

The digital transformation in manufacturing not only entails a technological transformation, but also has a significant impact on work processes and job profiles on the shop floor.
