Technology empowers adaptation and collaboration

29th January 2026 – ROUNDTABLE: Industry 5.0 in Theory and Practice: What have we learned, and what’s next?

An interactive online roundtable, bringing together leading voices from the EU HORIZON projects AI REDGIO 5.0, BRIDGES 5.0, PROSPECTS 5.0, SEISMEC, SKILLABILITY, and UPSKILL to explore the evolving landscape of Industry 5.0.

Technology serves as both an instrument and an enabler in these complex contexts. It acts as an instrument by providing tools and platforms that facilitate efficient processes, enhance productivity, and enable effective communication and collaboration. Additionally, technology acts as an enabler by unlocking new possibilities, enabling the creation of disruptive business models, and empowering individuals and organisations to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments.
