In order to remain the engine of prosperity, industry must lead the digital and green transitions.
This approach provides a vison of industry that aims beyond efficiency and productivity as the sole goals, and reinforces the role and the contribution of industry to society.
It places the wellbeing of the worker at the centre of the production process and uses new technologies to provide prosperity beyond jobs and growth while respecting the production limits of the planet.
It complements the existing "Industry 4.0" approach by specifically putting research and innovation at the service of the transition to a sustainable, human-centric and resilient European industry.

Industry 5.0 is still in development. It is expected to focus on collaboration between humans and machines to empower people to fully utilize their skills and make work safer, more efficient, and more meaningful. Industry 5.0 will also mean the introduction of even more advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, which can support and complement humans in new ways.
