The Industry Summit is a tried-and-tested source of inspiration for all those actively shaping production and logistics. Executives, innovators and sustainability experts focus on the current challenges and opportunities facing industry in Germany. Together, they provide answers to the question of how we can use innovation to strengthen companies’ competitiveness and future viability.

This year’s key theme is: Greater productivity. Fewer downtimes. Innovations for maximum plant availability and resilient supply chains.

Join the other participants in discussing the future of industrial processes. Through a variety of formats, we’ll take a look at the developments of tomorrow. The programme offers a diverse range of sessions on the future of logistics and production – from panels and round tables to presentations and use cases.

The ERDF projects ‘Grünes Gründen Münsterland’, ‘Kreislaufwirtschaftsregion Münsterland’ and ‘Sustainable Innovation Münsterland’ are drawing to a close. At the same time, a new chapter is beginning: with ‘Zukunft Unternehmensnachfolge Münsterland’, ‘TOR@Münsterland’, ‘Circular Bioeconomy’ and other regional funding projects, Münsterland e.V. continues to take responsibility for key future issues in the region.

Together with other ERDF projects across the Münsterland region, more than 13 million euros will be channelled into the region over the coming years. We’d like to look back with you on what we’ve achieved, celebrate the completion of the projects and take a first look at what’s next for ‘
