How do we maintain sustainable production and resilience in a continuously changing world? 

We are more than ever right in the middle of a changed and transforming world order where industry must swiftly adapt to new and complex conditions where access to technology, critical materials and skills and competences may be disrupted. Responding to this requires innovative thinking and the ability to transform current mindsets and ways of working. At the same time, climate change requires a shift in production to minimize climate impact. The urgency and complexity of the task calls for a joint-up thinking and a co-creative effort – we need to collaborate to transform!
