Powering the next era
of Smart Manufacturing

Tuesday, March 18th 2025 | Athens

The manufacturing industry is undergoing a seismic shift driven by the convergence of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twins, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Automation, Robots & Cobots, Smart Sensors, Cloud and Big Data Analytics.

These advancements power the rise of smart factories and create highly automated environments where machines, systems, and humans collaborate seamlessly. Despite their transformative potential, these environments integrate also complex system architectures, bringing critical challenges – cybersecurity threats, legacy system integration, data governance complexities, seamless data interoperability, and the need for workforce upskilling, among others.

Join us for the 8th edition of the Smart Factory Conference, where we will spotlight tomorrow’s innovations while addressing today’s challenges on the path to digital transformation.


The conference


Top experts and practitioners will take the stage, leading dynamic discussions with over 200+ industry leaders on the latest trends and innovations in smart manufacturing.

Be part of this dialogue and discover how cutting edge-technologies are driving a paradigm shift in industrial processes.

Gain actionable insights from real-life case studies that can optimize shopfloor efficiency, increase productivity, reduce operating costs, and enhance competitiveness.

And, last but not least, learn how to navigate the challenges of manufacturing digitalization, both now and in the future.
