As we return to a new normal, industrial innovation is accelerating. A renewed focus on sustainability, the circular economy, and climate change is sparking innovation and powering transformational and technological change throughout the industrial sector. Resilience has been prioritized in the supply chain and throughout production operations. Digital leaders have now validated their strategies against the real-world challenges brought on by the pandemic, and are accelerating their innovation and transformation initiatives. Many companies supported 'connected' remote and frontline workers far earlier than they anticipated, and will now do more. Having seen the power of disruptive technologies to transform business operations and competitive strategies, improve resilience, reduce costs, and better serve customers, it's full speed ahead.

Led by Ibec’s Medtech, Engineering and Polymer trade associations, and supported by Food, Pharma, ICT and Telcos – this is Ibec’s largest Manufacturing Conference.Over the course of the last two years, the world has changed so much. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrust companies into having to act faster and become extremely agile. Technology has been at the heart of allowing society work within the limitations that have been imposed in terms of working from home, communicating, and creating new and innovative solutions to deal with the crisis. Digital transformation most likely will have 5G at the heart of manufacturing as companies require access to infrastructure and solutions – including a connectivity infrastructure.
