Challenge
The EU aims to become climate neutral by 2050. As manufacturing is a key player in achieving this target, a shift towards sustainable operations is a must.
Without awareness of the impacts of geopolitical and demographic changes, global supply chain disruptions and carbon reduction regulations, it is difficult to take the first step towards sustainability. The slow uptake of advanced technologies, social innovation and environmental sustainability prevents competitiveness in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.
