    Future Factories: Taking innovative

    manufacturing in Canada and Europe


    to the next level
    A Science|Business public webcast in partnership with Next
    Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen)
    4 March 2021, 16:00 to 17:15 CET

    .
    CONTEXT

    Europe and Canada share a lot in terms of industrial landscape and strategy, be it

    diversification of their manufacturing sector, world-leading research capacity, high skill

    level of their workforce, and more. Both have also highlighted digitalisation, climate-

    neutrality and strategic autonomy as the three pillars of their post-COVID “build back

    better” industrial agenda. And yet, whether in Europe or Canada, industrial R&D

    spending is lagging behind that of industrial giants like the US or China, which risks

    compromising the necessary industrial innovation that should support these three pillars.

    So, how can strategic and sustainable industrial autonomy be effectively powered by

    research and innovation on each side of the Atlantic? What kind of support can be

    implemented to ensure an uptake and scale-up of industrial technologies across the

    Atlantic?

    During this public webcast, Science|Business will bring together high-level Canadian

    and European representatives from government, research and industry to discuss how

    cooperative R&D mechanisms and funding can ensure that advanced manufacturing

    remains a key driver of sustainable growth and job creation.
