Smart Manufacturing Week To remain competitive, develop their resilience and address forthcoming environmental challenges, manufacturing companies constantly need to boost their efficiency and innovative capacities. Two key steps to achieve this is the uptake and widespread use of digital technologies and the adoption of an “Industry 4.0” approach as well as environmentally friendly processes. Luxinnovation organises Smart Manufacturing Week, a yearly three-day event that provides insights into tools, resources and good practices that can help companies – SMEs as well as large groups – move forward. It also addressed sustainable manufacturing practices. “Every year, the Smart Manufacturing Week expands its scope, as industrial companies of all sizes constantly face new challenges,” says Caroline Muller, the manager of the Luxembourg Materials & Manufacturing Cluster at Luxinnovation. “Industrial companies have to adapt, and digital technologies are also there to support them in their sustainable transformation.” The 5th edition of the Smart Manufacturing Week will take place in June 2022. International participants interested in strengthening their contacts with Luxembourg’s industrial sector are welcome to join.
