Estonian industrial companies are going through revolutionary times. The energy crisis and challenges in supply chains raise the question of how sustainable our industrial enterprises are and how to be present and competitive years from now. Because sustainability ensures sustainability.
The focus of this year’s event is sustainability in this broad sense:

  • How do business models cope with the challenges of supply chains?
  • Is the technology sufficiently energy efficient?
  • What is the ability of managers and staff to adapt to change?
  • How do we meet the increased environmental standards?
  • How can the state support the sustainability of industrial enterprises?
  • How to ensure consistent application of research in industry?
  • How have crises been solved in cooperation elsewhere?

Industry 5.0 brings together the Estonian industry community and focuses on practical topics that provide ideas and inspiration for immediate action. In addition to the best in Estonia, we listen to practitioners from other places and learn from their stories. The AIRE club following the day’s program offers socializing in a freer form. The conference will be held for the 9th time and its organizers are AIRE, Minsitry of Economic affairs and Communication, TalTech, EISA, ITL and Confent.
