The second edition of the EIT Manufacturing Summit is hybrid event taking place between November 30 and December 2, 2021.
During the EIT Manufacturing Summit, stakeholders in Europe’s 30-million-strong manufacturing sector are exchanging ideas on how to engage people from a wide variety of backgrounds, instilling them with the skills and inspiration to drive twin green and digital transitions.
Core questions adressed:
• What new skills will the manufacturing sector need to succeed in the future, and how can the existing skills gap be bridged?
• How can we create a more diverse workforce, attracting and inspiring more people to join and take leadership roles in the sector? And how do we ensure that older generations of employees are inspired and equipped with the needed skills for shaping the future of manufacturing?
• What will the future of work look like, and how will it feel for those involved?
• How can we ensure that the human-centered transformation is also a green transformation?

The EIT Manufacturing Summit is a major annual event bringing together participants from industry, academia and research, as well as entrepreneurs and policymakers, for three days of discussion and debate about Europe’s manufacturing sector. Read more here.
