THE AGENDA

THEMES

that are reshaping European industry

01

The New Industrial Stack

A new generation of technologies is moving from lab to production in industrial settings faster than ever.

Physical AI and robotics are the most visible. They’re part of a broader shift: new compute architectures, advanced simulation, next-generation sensing, and materials science breakthroughs are all reaching the point where they can be deployed now.

02

Reinvention

The playbook that worked for the last decade won't work for the next one.

Supply chains are being restructured. Energy costs and carbon requirements are reshaping which operations make sense and where. Business-critical areas are being reshaped by technology shifts and global pressures at a pace most organizations haven't planned for.

03

From AI Potential to Business Value

Every major industrial company has now run AI pilots. Fewer have scaled them across the business.

The ones that have, changed how decisions get made, how governance works in practice, and what to focus on in solving concrete needs.
