Industry 5.0 Community of Practice Call for Expression of Interest

Industry 5.0 Community of Practice (CoP 5.0) will bring together a broad range of European innovation ecosystem stakeholders to share good practices, co-create actions to implement Industry 5.0, contribute to the New European Innovation Agenda (NEIA) implementation, and provide a platform for members to network and establish new collaborations. It will help create a value proposition for stakeholders at the local, regional, national, and European levels to promote and apply Industry 5.0 principles and practices. It will facilitate an opportunity for stakeholders to share ideas, foster synergies, and receive support in transforming traditional business models into more impactful ones.

The development of CoP 5.0 is set to follow a step-by-step approach, beginning with a 1-year piloting phase (Q3 2023 - Q3 2024), which will lead to the eventual establishment of a fully functional Community of Practice at the end of 2024.
