People-centered tech and sustainable production
The Role of Plattform Industrie 4.0 in Europe’s Digital Transition
Founded in 2015, Plattform Industrie 4.0 Österreich aims to ensure that Austria remains competitive in the face of global industrial change. The platform connects key institutions—including ministries, employer and employee organizations, scientific institutions, and leading industrial companies—to develop future-proof strategies for industry and labor.
Its mission:
Enable dynamic growth in Austria’s production sector
Advance research, innovation, and skills development
Promote high-quality jobs and sustainable business models
Drive collaboration across national and international levels
The platform is an important partner for turning high-level strategies—like IPCEI-CIS—into practice. Through real-life use cases, policy dialogue, and technology transfer, it bridges the gap between abstract infrastructure development and real industrial needs.
Why This Webinar Matters for IPCEI-CIS
The Important Project of Common European Interest on Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS) focuses on building sovereign and resilient digital infrastructures in Europe. However, these infrastructures must be grounded in the practical requirements of industry to be effective.
This is where Plattform Industrie 4.0, CISERO, and 8ra come in.
They connect industrial players and policymakers, translating high-tech developments into tangible, scalable applications in manufacturing. This ensures that cloud and edge solutions from IPCEI-CIS support real production environments—enhancing Europe's digital sovereignty and industrial competitiveness.
