The Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists (LPK/LCI)
The Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists (LPK/LCI) (www.lpk.lt/en/) is a major independent business association and a leading business voice in Lithuania uniting 53 branch and 7 regional associations which comprise over 4000 medium and large enterprises from various private and public sectors. Members include most Lithuanian manufacturing industry and service companies, also banks, trading enterprises, foreign investors, research institutes and educational establishments. The Confederation works around the issues that most influence business performance and takes a national lead of dual transformation (green and digital) processes of the Lithuanian industry. It co-coordinates the National Platform of the Industry 4.0 and one of 3 European Digital Innovation Hubs in Lithuania EDIH4IAE.LT (with particular focus on manufacturing, agrifood and energy sectors).
As part of the BRIDGES 5.0 project, the Confederation of Lithuanian Industrialists:
- will analyse the need for future competences and skills and new company practices in relation to Industry4.0 revolution and dual industry transformations (including the emerging of new green and digital jobs), also identify emerging gaps for the successful implementation of the Industry5.0 requirements; comparing European countries and Lithuania;
- together with 2 large international companies operating in Lithuania, will implement an experiment – to develop and test a new way of formation and improvement of qualifications and skills of the “green” and digital Industry5.0, which will be then offered on a European scale as one of the Teaching and Learning Factory implementation strategies;
- will contribute to the preparation of European guidelines (blueprints) for national Industry 5.0 learning trajectories and training pathways, using the enriched Teaching and Learning Factories’ concepts;
- together with the project partners, will prepare general content outlines of future competences and skills trainings;
- as one of the coordinating parties of the national Industry4.0 platform in Lithuania, the LCI will network with the appropriate national and European level stakeholders throughout the whole project implementation period; the results of the project will be immediately communicated and integrated into the activities and strategic documents of the national Industry4.0 platform (especially on the topic of human resources planning and formation);
- will make strategy proposals and coordinate the integration of the Lithuanian Industry4.0 platform into the European Industry5.0 platform. This platform will facilitate social innovation in the learning field and provide various stakeholders and four target groups (i.e. managers, employees, job seekers and students) with recommendations and instruments for new learning and training systems.

Workplace Innovation Europe
Our team has been at the heart of the workplace innovation movement in Europe since the early 1990s.
We created Workplace Innovation Europe as a not-for-profit organisation specifically to promote and develop workplace innovation.
Our advice, coaching and hands-on support has helped many companies, public sector organisations and NGOs across Europe to improve performance, enhance capacity for innovation and create better jobs for their people.
We have also helped shape and deliver policies and programmes for the European Commission, governments, business support agencies and employers’ organisations in many countries.
Our approach combines hard, evidence-based argument with the ability to stimulate and engage senior leaders, managers and front-line employees. We work with leading international universities and research institutes to capture and analyse leading practice, and to translate it into practical tools and learning resources.
