10:15 – 11:30 Panel 1: Upskilling for Industry 5.0

Industry research has shown that 80.9% of companies indicated that human resources are the biggest obstacle in achieving digital transformation. This caused employee resistance to change and prevented companies from starting or continuing the process of implementing Industry 4.0. The solution to these problems is brought by the new strategy of Industry 5.0, which shifts the focus from technology and place human in the center.
