Matchmaking in the Industry 5.0 Ecosystem
March 11–12, hybrid event
About Matchmaking
Industry 5.0 is an evolution of the Industry 4.0 concept, emphasizing the sustainability of supply chains and industrial ecosystems, human-centricity, and sustainable manufacturing approaches. In 2023, the Ukrainian Industry 4.0 community developed a joint «Manifesto on the Transition to Industry 5.0» and launched a structured course to implement these principles.
On March 11–12, the Association of Industrial Automation of Ukraine (APPAU) invites its members and partners in the Industry 4.0-5.0 movement to participate in matchmaking meetings and exchanges related to these new approaches.
