The Industry 5.0 Blueprint: Planning for sustainable regional value chains

We welcome you to the event:

The Blueprint: A Cross-Industry Approach

The future of our regional economies is not a straight line, but a circle. The linear model of 'take, make, dispose' is no longer viable. Today, we need to build economies that are regenerative by design. But how do we transition to a truly circular value chain at scale? The answer lies in the principles of Industry 5.0.

Industry 5.0 represents a new economic paradigm where digital technology is directly linked to the creation of circular systems and empowered human workers. This is not just about automation; it's about innovation with respect for people, social sustainability and nature. We see value not just in preventing waste, but in actively upcycling it. Consider the millions of car tires, the enormous volume of foam mattresses, or the tonnes of construction and demolition debris ending up in landfills. These aren't just waste; they're valuable raw materials waiting to be transformed. Our long-term prosperity means creating a new generation of Industry 5.0-ready jobs uniquely equipped to use digital technology to identify and unlock this value. This is not about just adopting new tools; it's about growing a workforce for a new kind of economy.

We will present and discuss a Blueprint for an Industry 5.0-driven regional value chain, where industrial growth is symbiotic with the region. We will explore how digital technologies can help turn waste into a resource.

By joining us at The Industry 5.0 Blueprint you will help turn vision into reality. Let's make Region Gothenburg a trailblazer: a model for how to build a future where our economy, our people, and our environment can all thrive together. Be part of the conversation that will define the future of Region Gothenburg that is underpinned by circular thinking and human ingenuity.

This is part of a series of events across Sweden.
