In today's factory, the connection between real world and virtual world systems is a reality. In a sector where everything is accelerating, digitization and the transformations it implies opens up the field of possibilities. This is precisely the reason for the second edition of the “Industry of the Future” Challenge.
Building on the success of the first edition in 2017, Atos, international leader in digital transformation, and SKF, world leader in bearings, were joined by another big name in defense and security, ArianeGroup, European leader in space launches and propulsion.
This second edition aims to bring out new technological solutions that will make it possible to improve, concretely tomorrow, the performance and quality of services in industrial environments.
This is to give startups the opportunity to submit a new and innovative project in order to actively participate in the transformation of the factory of tomorrow. Thus, 7 themes constitute the framework of the 2019 edition: cybersecurity, data science, the connected factory, the human being at the center of the factory, ecology in industry, the materials of the future, and finally new manufacturing processes.
