Future factories: How efficiency, electrification and AI will remake modern manufacturing

Smart factories are redefining modern manufacturing. As global supply chains face increasing volatility and electrification reshapes industrial demand, businesses that embrace intelligent operations will unlock efficiency, resilience, and competitiveness. Who will lead the next era of industry? World-class innovators and policy leaders will explore how AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), digitalisation and demand-response strategies are transforming the factory floor. Through dynamic discussion and real-world case studies, we’ll examine how businesses can deploy cutting-edge technology at scale and how governments can accelerate the shift through climate-aligned and responsible AI policy.
