DIGITALEUROPE Digital Manufacturing Executive Council

The Digital Manufacturing Executive Council (DMEC) represents executives from leading manufacturers and technology companies defining the goals and action plan for the EU to become a world leader by 2025. DMEC have signed and publicly released a Declaration outlining their key goals, concrete actions and targets to measure
success.

We heard the EU officials tell us they need our help in defining the path to success for Digital Manufacturing 5.0 in Europe. Only through a close collaboration between digital companies, manufacturing companies and relevant policy makers can we achieve this. That is exactly why this group will take the leadership to drive this collaboration further in the future.

The group has three overarching goals: growth in GDP, enhancing skills programmes addressing the new digital job market, and driving sustainable production by enhancing new technology to achieve a cleaner environment.

I firmly believe that DIGITALEUROPE’s Executive Digital Manufacturing Council will be the platform for reaching these goals. Together with our 40 national trade associations we will create important dialogues with governments in EU capitals partnering for the prosperous future of Europe.

Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl
Director General DIGITALEUROPE


Key goals by 2025

  1. The EU has a regulatory framework that allows the manufacturing sector to lead internationally as well as stimulates the development and deployment of key enabling technologies.

Policy areas for growth

  • Promoting industry-driven industrial data sharing.
  • Develop with the EU performance indicators to measure the decarbonisation and sustainability potential of manufacturing digital technology.
  • Creating a strong collaborative ecosystem with IT, OT companies, academia and supportive incentives (including for SMEs).
  • Integrating sustainability in the future evolution of standards for better performance and incentives to go digital.
  • Moving work from competitive to more collaborative IT-OT standardisation models to accelerate digitalisation.

Tangible Initiatives

  • A platform for technology, manufacturing companies and key stakeholders for the development of digital solutions that will result in job creation and sustainable growth.
  • The EU acts as an honest broker to countries around the world (e.g. Japan, Korea) to foster cross-country digital projects – supporting data trading or data collaboration solutions needed to run an international digital manufacturing business.
  • Industrial data sharing use cases to educate policy-makers on key features of B2B data-driven business models.
