GL events and the prefecture of Aichi, Japan's industrial capital, are partnering to create the Smart Manufacturing Summit by Global Industrie.
This new professional event will be held in March 2024 at Aichi Sky Expo and will be dedicated to Industry 5.0 with the aim of building a smart and sustainable future.
For the European meeting of excellence and industrial prospects, Global Industrie, the emergence of an entirely new industrial event enabling rapprochement between Europe and Japan makes perfect sense. Global Industrie is today the largest industrial event in France. Already deeply rooted in the animation of the industrial sector as well as in the institutional sphere, the exhibition aims to develop its international dimension.
Presented by the Aichi Prefecture and the GL events group, the first event dedicated to Japanese and European Industry 5.0 innovations will complement the Paris and Lyon editions of the Global Industrie trade show. Much like France's largest industrial trade show, Smart Manufacturing Summit by Global Industrie will be the place to immerse yourself in the industry of the future. It will also be the preferred medium for developing business relationships between France, Europe, and Japan.
Facilitating connections between European industrialists and the Japanese market, the Smart Manufacturing Summit by Global Industrie is aimed at the entire industrial ecosystem (product/solution suppliers, equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, startups, SMEs, mid-sized companies, large groups), the entire value chain (R&D, production, training, etc.), and all industrial sectors (agri-food, consumer goods, chemicals, defense, energy, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, transport & mobility, steelmaking, etc.).
Invited to meet in a region known for being a major industrial hub in Asia, visitors and exhibitors now have a venue, the Aichi Sky Expo, and a date, March 13-15, 2024, for discussions surrounding the challenges of developing a smarter and more sustainable industry.
