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.

Policy areas for growth
- Promoting industry-driven industrial data sharing.
