Events related to Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies

Following on from our successful and busy Symposium in September 2024, we are pleased to announce we are holding the event again this year. There will be a showcase of projects from this world-leading industrial research programme along with opportunities to connect with TWI technical experts and fellow Industrial Members through interactive panel and networking sessions.

In this webinar, we explore an innovative data-driven approach to assess how companies incorporate Industry 5.0 principles, combining vacancy data, ESG scores, and company descriptions. By building a composite index and examining skills demand, the analysis offers fresh insights into workforce development challenges and the shifting priorities of companies embracing human-centric, sustainable practices.

How does the EU's digitalization initiative create real value in Swedish industry and the public sector? 

The EU's major investment in digitalization and AI through the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) is now being put into practice. In this program, you will get an overview of the European strategy and how Sweden participates through initiatives such as ShiftLabs and Health Data Sweden (HDS). 

We will hear about working methods, target groups and concrete examples of how these EDIH projects strengthen competitiveness, drive innovation and deliver results – both in industry and in the public sector. Finally, we will open up for dialogue and questions in a joint panel.

How can digitalization and AI create new opportunities for industry – and how can we build bridges between large companies, startups and research environments?

During Gothenburg Tech Week, ShiftLabs will participate in a series of activities that highlight our work to strengthen the digital competitiveness of Swedish industry. The focus is on collaboration, innovation and concrete benefits for both small and large players.

Steven will discuss the European Union’s evolving transition from a regulatory to a more interventionist approach to governance, characterised by the European Green Deal and Industry 5.0. This new industrial vision promotes human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability, moving away from the mass production mindset of Industry 4.0.

How do we strengthen digitalization in Swedish industry – and how can collaborations between regions, actors and initiatives take us further together?

During the fall of 2025, ShiftLabs invites you to a series of dissemination activities around the country. On November 6, it is time for MITC in Eskilstuna to host a full day of inspiration, results, future exploration and networking.

As the world's leading highlight trade fair for the industry, the SPS – Smart Production Solutions brings together over 1,000 exhibitors and an international audience from 25 – 27 November 2025 in Nuremberg – focusing on concrete solutions, digital trends and practical innovations.

HANNOVER MESSE is the platform for real synergies. Your opportunity to tap into new markets, build valuable partnerships and present your solutions to a high-level audience of industry professionals.
