13:30 Panel discussion: Manufacturing and Jobs for the Future – Strategies to close the Skills gap

Solving the skills gap and nurturing a skilled workforce have become central issues for the manufacturing industry as it struggles to fill jobs even in countries with high rate of unemployment. As the competition for talent intensifies and new technologies call for new employee skills, the industry is being forced to change on how it finds, educates and retain talent.

• what strategies are manufacturers using to stoke their talent pipelines?• Are they sufficient to address the mismatch between supply and demand in careers like

ICT and engineering?• In which ways can the links between industry, education institutions and governments be

enhanced to address the issue?• How can the shortage of human capital be seen as an opportunity, especially in the

developing world?

14:30 Panel discussion: advanced robotics and automation – game-changers?

Industrial robots are revolutionising manufacturing. As robots become more sophisticated, smarter and cheaper, the range of tasks they can perform is increasing, allowing them to take on human-like capabilities and skills, in areas such as machine learning, tactile sensing and social intelligence. The new generation of robots will likely work alongside humans and learn from them to perform a growing number of manufacturing tasks.

• what are the opportunities and challenges of human-robot collaboration?• what is the likely impact on workforce and its implications for companies and policy makers?

The manufacturing heart of Europe in the global economy

They have grown up Europe, developed here in every town, region and country. They believe in their future in Europe.

At the same time our companies, which buy components and materials from other industries and supply these and other customers with both capital goods and consumer products, are part of complex value chains in Europe and worldwide.

we are the leading industrial employers and creators of wealth in Europe, manufacturing products used by consumers, industry, infrastructures and all sectors of the economy here in Europe and worldwide. Our strength? The technologies developed by our companies, applied in the equipment and systems they manufacture throughout Europe and then export worldwide. with a turnover of €1825 billion per year, a third of which we export, we are the engineering industry, Europe’s manufacturing heart.
