The Emergence of Industry 5.0: Leading the Business Transformation
Industry 5.0 aims to enhance productivity by integrating the human factor with technology and, through this, optimize business processes in a human-centric manner. The key elements of Industry 5.0, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented Reality (AR), robots capable of collaborating with humans, and Digital Twin, significantly contribute to the integration of human capabilities with technology. As a result of these contributions, efficiency, sustainability, and human-centeredness in production and services can be enhanced. Within this framework of transformation and change, several globally recognized Industry 5.0 projects have been developed. Notable examples include Germany’s Industrie 5.0 project, Japan’s Society 5.0 project, South Korea’s Smart Factory Initiative, the United States’ Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) project, China’s Made in China 2025 Initiative, Singapore’s Smart Nation Initiative, and India’s Digital India Initiative.
In this context, the session will explore the complex, multidimensional structure of the transformation initiated by Industry 5.0, delving into the leadership skills and strategic approaches required for navigating this profound change. It will also examine the role of advanced technologies in reshaping production systems worldwide, highlighting how these technologies are applied across different nations to foster more responsive, customizable, and human-centric manufacturing processes. Through an in-depth analysis, the session aims to illuminate the challenges and opportunities that Industry 5.0 presents, as well as the best practices for leading successful transitions in this new industrial era.
