先駆的テクノロジー、革新的なビジネスモデル、新しいパートナーシップによって、経済的および社会的影響を推進する企業の能力が、どのように変化するかを予測する。
生産は、製造とは違います。研究開発から設計、消費者行動、廃棄サイクルに至るまで、あらゆるプロセスを網羅しているのが「生産」です。自動車、化学、電子、医療、テキスタイルなど、さまざまな産業が含まれます。世界的に見ても、製造業は成長、雇用、イノベーションの最も重要な要素ですが、生産業はCO2排出と気候変動にも大きな影響を及ぼしています。新興技術は生産業界を変え、より効率的なプロセスを可能にするとともに、産業、社会、環境の新しい価値を生み出しています。
このプラットフォームは、22を超える産業セクター、政府、学術機関、市民社会による130以上の組織で構成された多彩なコミュニティをまとめ、イノベーション、持続可能性、雇用を刺激しつつ、インクルーシブなテクノロジーを推進しています。このコミュニティでは、パイロット品を評価・提案し、能力開発における最新のアプローチを検討し、パートナーシップにおける改善を推進するとともに、ビジネスモデルの改革と次世代の産業開発戦略を促進します。
このプラットフォーム では、複数の業界に共通する最大の課題を解決し、先進的な製造業の発展を促すとともに、ステークホルダーによる社会的責任の遂行をバックアップします。
