The 6th International Smart Factory Summit took place earlier this month, bringing together smart factory innovators from all over the world to explore the future of smart manufacturing.
During the Summit, Dr. Nikos Kyriakoulis, CORE Group Co-Founder and Managing Partner, participated in a pitching session for the Greek Smart Factory, our CORE initiative facilitated through the Twin4Twin project.
The Summit
Hosted by our Twin4Twin partners Swiss Smart Factory (SSF), the Summit has served as a global platform and an annual gathering for the smart factory community to discuss how these ecosystems can transform industrial operations.
Under the theme “Deep Tech Smart Factory – Uniting Humans, AI, Robots & Processes”, ISFS25 focused on the economic and societal impacts of emerging deep technologies and their role in reshaping manufacturing. The three-day event was geared toward international decision-makers from both the public and private sectors, and brought together a global community of experts from Europe, Asia, Africa, South and North America.
The Greek Smart Factory pitching session
Dr. Nikos Kyriakoulis took the stage to present the Greek Smart Factory, a test and demo platform that brings together manufacturers, tech providers, and academia to drive innovation in real-world industrial settings. During his talk, he presented the strengths of the GSF, as well as key steps forward towards the bigger picture of bringing the initiative to life.
