Professionals of the Future III | Human-centric (Re)manufacturing in the era of AI

Conferences and summits

The event will bring together stakeholders from education, training, industry, research and technology to explore how manufacturing can remain human-centred as artificial intelligence, digitalisation and circular practices reshape the sector.

Under this year's theme, the event will focus on the skills, qualifications and collaboration needed to prepare professionals for this transformation and strengthen the connection between technological innovation, industrial practice and workforce development.

Across three roundtables, participants will discuss digital tools for training, circular industrial transformation, and professional growth, looking at how education and industry can work together to equip professionals with the skills and qualifications needed as manufacturing evolves.

The event will provide a space to exchange experiences and approaches to supporting a competitive, resilient and human-centred manufacturing sector, while ensuring that workers are equipped to play an active role in the digital and green transitions.
