YML Main Event 

25 November 2022 | 2: 15 PM to 4 PM CET

You can join the YML Main Event and have the chance to get to know more about the YML Network, its members and their impact on the future of manufacturing.

The session represents a chance for the members of the network to discuss among themselves and with the partners of the project and inspiring representatives of the manufacturing world, while enlarging their network of contacts.
The members of the network will have a chance to discuss a wide range of topics that are relevant to their experience and expertise. The focus is on manufacturing, in particular sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity.

The event will be live from Porsche Experience Center Franciacorta.

The 2022 World Manufacturing Forum Redesigning Supply Chains in the new Era of Manufacturing  will focus on the main trends driving the new manufacturing scenario and their impact on the redesign of manufacturing supply chains. The key macro-themes to be discussed include value chain resiliency, local and global ecosystems, new roles of SMEs within the redesignation of supply chains, workforce shortages, skills gaps, lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical landscape, and the digital and sustainable transition in manufacturing. Key enablers in manufacturing transformation such as the role of digital technologies, augmented workforce and business model innovation will also be tackled.
