Advanced manufacturing powers the EU’s globally leading industries by integrating cutting-edge technologies
with innovative approaches to meet the demands of modern economies. As a vital sector within the
manufacturing landscape, it strengthens Europe’s industrial competitiveness, resilience, and progress toward a
sustainable future. Investment in high-tech manufacturing facilities is on the rise, with companies committing
significant resources to enhance their capabilities and meet evolving market demands.

The development and management of sustainable high-tech facilities present unique challenges, especially in
industries like semiconductors, photovoltaics, battery production, electric vehicles, and laser manufacturing. As
these sectors work to enhance Europe’s global competitiveness, they must navigate strict regulatory requirements,
rising costs, sustainability goals, workforce shortages, and complex investment landscapes. This summit provides a
vital platform to explore strategies for overcoming these challenges, with a strong emphasis on operations,
maintenance, energy efficiency, and sustainable design-key factors in ensuring long-term innovation, resilience,
and environmental responsibility.

At the Sustainable High-Tech Manufacturing Facilities Summit, we will bring together leading experts from across
the industry to tackle critical challenges in sustainable design and energy efficiency. Attendees will gain insights
into the latest trends and best practices in sustainable design, discover strategies to enhance operational and
energy efficiency, and explore innovative solutions for overcoming obstacles such as supply chain disruptions and
workforce shortages – all while advancing environmental responsibility and long-term resilience.
