About this session

Welcome to a forum designed for decision-makers and industry experts who are not just exploring digital transformation — but actively shaping how their organizations evolve in the era of Industry 5.0.

This is not another tech event. It’s a strategic gathering where digitalization is put into context — as a driver of business value, operational excellence, and long-term competitiveness.

Through a curated agenda, you’ll gain insights from leading organizations such as SKF and AstraZeneca, Alfa Laval covering everything from the shift towards Industry 5.0 and smart manufacturing, to building digital lighthouse initiatives and modernizing legacy systems without disruption.

Expect a balance of strategic perspectives and hands-on experiences — from large-scale transformation journeys to practical challenges in implementation, decision-making, and change management. Real-world cases will highlight how organizations turn digital ambitions into measurable outcomes, leveraging data, visualization, and leading indicators to stay ahead.

What makes this forum unique:

✔️ Strategic insights on the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0
✔️ Real-world examples of digital transformation and smart manufacturing
✔️ Lessons learned from building and scaling digital lighthouse initiatives
✔️ Practical approaches to implementation, risk management, and change leadership
✔️ Perspectives on modernizing legacy systems without disrupting operations
✔️ Meaningful conversations with peers facing similar challenges

This is the forum for those who want to step back, challenge their current approach, and strengthen their organization’s ability to turn digital transformation into real business value — with clear strategy, strong execution, and lasting impact.

Because digital transformation is not just about adopting new technology. It’s about redefining how your organization operates, competes, and grows.

If you are ready to lead change, not just respond to it — this is your forum.
