Industry 5.0: towards sustainable future

According to the European Union, Industry 5.0 "provides a vision of the industry that aims beyond efficiency and productivity as the sole goals, and reinforces the role and contribution of the industry to society." It "places the well-being of the worker at the center of the production process and uses new technologies to provide prosperity beyond jobs and growth while respecting the production limits of the planet." It complements the Industry 4.0 approach by "specifically putting research and innovation at the service of the transition to a sustainable, human-centric, and resilient European industry."
