We are pleased to announce the commencement of our new project, PROSPECTS 5.0: “Progress Towards Industry 5.0: A Smart Study on Analysis and Identification of Practices, Drivers, Success Factors, and Obstacles of Transitions Towards Industry 5.0”. This project has been funded by Horizon Europe under Cluster 4 and began on January 1, 2024.
The project aims to promote the adoption of Industry 5.0 principles, such as human-centricity, sustainability, and resiliency, and to facilitate the transition to Industry 5.0 for SMEs, startups, and scale-ups across various industries. To provide real-world examples, the project will analyze 14 use cases from different European Union countries and six different industries, covering various types of manufacturing, service provision, education, energy, aviation transport, and automotive sectors.
In the PROSPECTS 5.0 project, the TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS Foundation will lead the task dedicated to project dissemination and communication and also serve as a use-case facilitator for the Polish use case, Cameleo. Additionally, TPF experts will contribute to the project’s activities on Industry 5.0 Implementation Practices assessment and policy recommendations development.
The project’s kick-off meeting was held on January 24-25, 2024, in Leuven, Belgium. TPF’s Vice-president, Michał Towpik, and Project Director, Anna Zmiievska, participated in the meeting to meet the partners, present the dissemination and communication strategy, and discuss the first year’s work on the project.
