As the dissemination and exploitation partner for the FLASH-COMP project and a lead member of the 4ZDM Cluster, Insight Media is proud to co-organise this workshop, taking a central role in shaping the agenda, coordinating communications, and securing leading industry voices to contribute to the discussions.
This inaugural Digital Manufacturing Industrial Workshop will bring together industry leaders, researchers, and end-users to explore the latest advancements in digital manufacturing and zero-waste production. Through a carefully curated programme of keynote speeches, project showcases, and interactive panel discussions, attendees will gain invaluable insights into how digital technologies are transforming European manufacturing for greater efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness.
Importantly, the event will also feature several ZDM projects, each providing valuable insight direct from the factory floor focused on the testing of their technologies at industrial use cases, as well as the challenges being addressed related to the implementation of digital solutions on existing industrial workflows and processes. This will be essential information for industry leaders in the process of or considering implementing new technologies themselves.
A unique collaboration for a game-changing event
Working in close partnership with the 4ZDM Cluster and EFFRA, Insight Media has played a key role in securing high-profile speakers from major manufacturing bodies such as EFFRA and EIT Manufacturing. In addition, leading industrial players, including Siemens, Azimut Benetti, Volvo, and others, have confirmed their participation, offering attendees a direct line to those driving digital transformation at the highest level.
Through its leadership in 4ZDM and its extensive network within manufacturing and research communities, Insight Media is ensuring that this event not only highlights these cutting-edge solutions on the ground, but also fosters meaningful discussions that will shape the future of digital manufacturing.
