SUMMARY:Equipping European SMEs with Skills & Technologies for the Digital Transformation (blended workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Across Europe\, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in traditional industries are under increasing pressure to adapt to the digital era. Technologies such as artificial intelligence\, advanced data analytics\, robotics\, or IoT-enabled platforms are transforming production processes\, business models\, and supply chains. At the same time\, the demand for digital skills is growing rapidly\, while many SMEs face difficulties in identifying the right technologies\, acquiring the necessary expertise\, and investing in workforce training. \nSectors such as personal protective equipment (PPE)\, textile care\, and medical devices illustrate these challenges well: they are highly regulated and often built on long-established processes\, while at the same time confronted with increasing demand for traceability\, regulatory compliance\, automation and sustainability. \nThis workshop\, organised by Small Business Standards\, in collaboration with DTV and DIGITAL SME\, will provide a forum for SME representatives\, technology or standards experts\, and policymakers to exchange perspectives on the skills and technologies driving digital transformation in the traditional industry. It will highlight opportunities for European SMEs to adopt new digital solutions\, learn from concrete case studies\, and discover resources and initiatives available to support their upskilling and innovation journeys. \nAgenda\n10:00 – 10:10 Opening & Introduction – Welcome by Small Business Standards \n10:10 – 10:30 Keynote Presentation \n10:30 – 11:20 Expert presentations on key technology trends \n\nDigitalisation of medical devices and data\nSmart Textiles\nIdentification and Labelling\nEU Cybersecurity and regulatory requirements\nArtificial Intelligence\n\n11:20 – 11:25 Short Q&A Session \n11:25 – 11:55 Panel Discussion: Technology\, Standards and next steps for the Digital Product Passport \n11:55 – 12:00 Short Q&A Session \n12:00 – 12:20 SME Journeys in Digitalisation \n\nCase study (SME): Digital transformation in the PPE/textile service industry\nCase study (SME): Digital innovation in medical devices or textile care\n\n12:20 – 12:45 Building Digital Skills and Ecosystem Support: Presentation of initiatives for skills development\, available resources\, training programs\, and funding opportunities \n12:45 – 12:55 Q&A Session\, Open Discussion & Exchange \n12:55 – 13:00 Final Remarks & Closure \nRegister here!\nRegister for this workshop via here and secure your digital spot to talk about SMEs\, digitalisation\, and technology.
