About:
Due to the rapid growth of new technologies and changes in social dynamics, the Economic Forum of the Future will be held as part of the 48th MIPRO Conference. This omnibus forum invites representatives from industry, academia, and public administration to actively participate in the discussion and jointly shape the path toward a more resilient, humane, and sustainable industry of the future. Industry 5.0 moves beyond automation and digitalization by placing the human at the core of the technological ecosystem. It emphasizes systems where people and machines collaborate, and where innovation serves both economic and societal goals.
