‘Industry 5.0’ in the food industry

An event for owners and executives of food companies: case studies on the digital transformation of Ukrainian manufacturing facilities, one-on-one meetings with integrators, and insights from companies that have implemented Industry 4.0 solutions

Date: 15 July

Format: in-person, Kyiv

From challenge to solution

The Challenge

Ukrainian food companies are facing the need for digital and green transformation, but the adoption of modern technologies is lagging behind the development of the solutions themselves.

The first APPAU online brokerage event showed that a large number of Ukrainian Industry 4.0–5.0 solutions are already available on the market; however, companies lack practical case studies, proven implementation models and an understanding of the real value of these technologies for business.

Solution

The Industry 5.0 Forum combines expert discussions, presentations of successful case studies, and visits to production facilities where modern technologies are already in use.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about solutions offered by Ukrainian integrators, discuss the challenges of modernization with colleagues, and examine real-world examples of digital transformation at companies in the food industry.

Why you should attend the event
