European investment in modern manufacturing
• Economic and political uncertainty
• Barriers to access to finance
• Delayed industrial modernization
- low investment- low value added - low profitability

• Invest in new business models
• Develop long-term partnerships with
customers and new suppliers
• Pool resources (also on export markets)
• Build the hybrid skills pipeline needed in
digital era
Skills action by the EU MT industry: METALS• New skills for new technologies
• Funded by the Erasmus+ Program

• Partnership between industry, education providers and
public authorities
• 3D Design, material handling, safety procedures,
maintenance of AM systems need new training

manufacturing supported with an adequate set of
competences in AM
