Manufacturing Journal is proud to partner with the Smart Factories Summit Europe on 6 October 2026, at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London, UK.
According to recent industry research, 58% of European manufacturers have adopted Industry 4.0 technologies. Yet many are still struggling to turn adoption into measurable results. This event will bring together smart manufacturing leaders from across Europe, providing a collaborative platform to explore how emerging technologies, workforce transformation, and sustainability can be implemented at scale to create a lasting competitive advantage.
As European manufacturing is reshaped by persistent cost volatility, widening workforce gaps, and the urgent need to strengthen productivity in an increasingly competitive global market, innovators from Jaguar Land Rover, Procter & Gamble, Mars, and more will connect to share their insights and practical strategies for building future-ready Industry 4.0 operations.
The event addresses key themes, including:
- Accelerating Intelligent Automation and AI-Driven Operations
- Building Secure, Connected and Resilient Ecosystems
- Elevating Digital Upskilling and Workforce Transformation
- Driving Sustainable Sovereign and Future-Ready Manufacturing
Attendees will also have the opportunity to view live technology demonstrations and explore how modern digital tools can support productivity, resilience, and return on investment in today’s manufacturing environment.
Reflecting on their experience of attending an event in AMG World's Manufacturing portfolio, a Former Manager, Global Operations Analytics at Ingredion, commented: “I always walk away from these sessions with new ideas, fresh perspectives, and a renewed sense of energy. It’s not often you get the chance to exchange ideas so openly with digital experts and business leaders across industries. I look forward to the next event!”
