The new industrial revolution, digitisation, industry 4.0 and advanced manufacturing are shaping the future of the European industry. As digitisation does not stop at regional or national borders, we should actively look for areas of possible cooperation to seize the opportunities provided by this transition. To embrace the opportunities that digitization can offer, regions are required to swiftly ensure the relevant infrastructure, education, skills and investment.
ECRN works to unlock the potential of this industrial transformation, focusing on the impact of digitisation on European chemical industry and the role of regional strategies to provide the appropriate framework conditions.
