PROSPECTS 5.0

Smart study on analysis and identification of practices, drivers, success factors and obstacles of transitions towards Industry 5.0.

The PROSPECTS 5.0 project accelerates the transition to Industry 5.0 by enhancing the uptake of its principles and practices by companies, local innovation ecosystems, SMEs, start-ups, scale-ups and industrial sectors.

The project provides practical guidance, tools, and solutions for industry stakeholders to remove the barriers for the industry to opt into the Industry 5.0 transition.

PROSPECTS 5.0 focuses on the following key aspects:

• Fostering collaboration between companies, universities, research centres, and government agencies to co-create new solutions and innovations.
• Improving the skills and mindsets of individuals by investing in the development of new skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and communication.
• Studying pilot projects to test and validate new technologies, processes, and business models to allow companies to learn from their mistakes, iterate, and refine their approach before scaling up.
• Measuring the impact of Industry 5.0 on various operations, employees, customers, and the environment.
• Raising awareness about the benefits and opportunities of Industry 5.0 through project workshops, seminars/webinars, and other events.

PROSPECTS 5.0 creates a significant and meaningful impact in the short, medium, and long term, benefiting a wide range of stakeholders. The project is expected to become a reference point for future research on Industry 5.0 and for the development of new EU roadmaps and policies.

Eurecat participates in the PROSPECTS 5.0 project through its Consultancy Department, responsible for leading the transfer of knowledge through guides, lessons learned and policy recommendations.

The consortium of the initiative is led by the research centre Flanders Make and is made up of 30 partners from 13 European countries.
