Opportunity to get involved! The MASTT2040 project is holding a physical Roadmapping Workshop on "Pathways towards the future of Manufacturing-as-a-Service in 2040". This will be held in Brussels on 26th February 2025 between 10am-5pm. Building on existing policy and strategy work, as well as previous activities undertaken in the MASTT2040 project, the MASTT2040 consortium is implementing two roadmapping workshops. In the first workshop on the 26th February 2025, we will develop a number of concrete pathways for a more competitive, resilient and green European manufacturing industry by 2040. During this interactive workshop, four roadmaps will be drafted based on future visions of manufacturing that will identify barriers and priority actions that need to be addressed which will be used to inform industry, research, standardisation and policy strategies. In particular we will focus on the role Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) can play to arrive at promising visions for the future of European manufacturing in 2040. Aspects that we are interested in are digitisation, automation, services, human centric aspects, sustainability, circular approaches and resilience in the supply chain. The results of this workshop will be used in a second workshop to further concretize high-priority actions and formulate recommendations towards industry & policy on how to successfully realise the most impactful future visions for MaaS in European industry.

🚢 𝐀𝐃𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐋 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 – 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 🌍 We are proud to share that the ADMIRAL project was represented at the 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 (𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐋) 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, a premier event dedicated to advancing research in supply chain management and logistics innovation. 🚛 HICL 2024 brought together academics, industry professionals, and researchers to explore solutions for modern logistics challenges such as #digitaltransformation, #sustainability, and #efficientsupplychainstrategies. The conference provided a platform for thought leaders to present pioneering work on topics like 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭, 𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, and 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 — areas that resonate strongly with ADMIRAL’s mission to create a multimodal marketplace platform for more sustainable logistics across Europe. During the SCOPE 3 session, Jukka Kääriäinen from VTT presented the initial concept behind the ADMIRAL marketplace. His presentation, titled: 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐄 𝟑 𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 – 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐃𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞, showcased how ADMIRAL is working to integrate SCOPE 3 emissions awareness into a marketplace platform that supports greener, more efficient logistics. 🌿 📄 Authors: Jukka Kääriäinen, Markku Mikkola, Harri Pyykkö, Ville Hinkka, Emma Mulhern, Simo Salminen VTT I Awake.AI. Jukka highlighted ADMIRAL’s unique approach to helping companies in the logistics sector better understand and reduce their emissions through 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. By designing a platform that addresses the growing need for sustainable logistics and compliance with Scope 3 requirements, ADMIRAL is at the forefront of transforming European logistics to meet environmental goals. #HICL2024 #ADMIRALProject #Scope3Emissions #HorizontEurope

The machinery industry is quickly moving towards a digital future. By 2030, software and integrated solutions in this sector will be a $400 billion market, making up a larger share of the industry's profits. ✅ Most advanced manufacturing leaders say that adopting new technologies like artificial intelligence is a top priority for research and development. No machinery company can create digital solutions for every industry on its own. 🌐 This digital shift is also making machinery companies rethink how they produce goods. They need to make supply chains more resilient and sustainable, with circular material models helping in this effort.
