The inaugural Factories of the Future Conference was held in Brussels on 15 and 16 September 2016.
A rich and varied programme under the theme ‘Materialising Factories 4.0’, attracted the participation of five hundred people from across Europe and from further afield. The conference was the largest event of its kind to focus on ‘Factories of the Future’. In particular, it is the first conference to place the achievements of the ‘Factories of the Future’ projects at the very centre of thematic discussions.
The conference was officially opened by European Commissioner Gunther H. Oettinger and featured over fifty speakers from small, medium and large companies, universities, research organisations and from EU institutions.
