What does the future hold for Europe’s manufacturing industry landscape? 

Join EIT Manufacturing for European Manufacturing Conference in Brussels on 24 and 25 September 2024 alongside key manufacturing players to address the pressing challenges faced by the European industry and society today and tomorrow.

Over 350 participants are expected at Event Lounge to engage with policymakers, industry representatives, as well as academia, RTOs, start-ups, scale-ups, and innovators at the European Manufacturing Conference this year. European Manufacturing Conference is co-organised by EFFRAEIT Manufacturing, and ManuFuture.

Why participate?

Networking: Meet and connect with key players and stakeholders in the industry.

Expo: Learn more about the latest initiatives and programmes these three manufacturing players are involved in.

Insights: Gain valuable insights into innovative manufacturing technologies and trends through panel sessions, fireside chats, and keynote speeches.

Key topics

Throughout the conference, the programme will tackle several topics, aiming to meet the needs and interests of the manufacturing ecosystem:

  • How can businesses respond to geopolitical shifts to advance their manufacturing strategies?
  • What innovative technologies and strategies are being employed to achieve net-zero emissions in manufacturing?
  • What are the potential benefits and challenges of expanding manufacturing operations beyond European borders, and how can cross-border collaborations drive growth and resilience?
  • What opportunities does the entrepreneurial ecosystem offer in the European manufacturing landscape?
  • How can manufacturing organisations anticipate and prepare for future industry trends and disruptions?

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
