The BRIDGES 5.0 Final Conference marks the culmination of the project’s four-year journey towards shaping an inclusive, human-centred Industry 5.0 future. The event will present the project’s main achievements, including the proof of concept and business action plan for the Industry 5.0 Platform, and will formally hand over the platform to the Industry 4.0 networks as the main owners of the results.
The conference will bring together companies, social partners, policymakers and stakeholders to exchange lessons learned, showcase concrete outcomes, and discuss how to sustain and scale the project’s impact beyond its lifetime.
Participants will not only be informed about the project’s key outcomes but also contribute to shaping the Industry 5.0 Platform’s next chapter. Attendees will engage actively through polls, live demonstrations, and some of the topics will be selected by co-creation exercises during the masterclass series.
