In an environment that will continue to be volatile, uncertain, and complex, purpose-led and digital-first strategies will enable manufacturers to build new ecosystems, resilient supply chains, efficient and agile factory and service operations, and worker experience concepts to retain and attract talent.
We build each edition of the Xchange event by starting dialogue with industry leaders, which helps us to create the best independent content. Meet the Advisory Board Members for this year!

At IDC’s European Manufacturing Digital Summit 2022, on November 15, 2022, the summit featured an impressive panel of speakers from our partners and the manufacturing CxO community, complemented by insights from the European IDC Manufacturing Insights team. Based on the presentations and roundtable discussions from 14 sessions, our top 10 manufacturing trends were identified:
Learn MoreWe recently had our Advisory Board meeting, comprised of senior executives from European manufacturing organisations, with an objective to understand the latest topics or challenges they are dealing with. The two main challenges that were on their lists were energy prices and cybersecurity, how these two converge, and the role that technology can play to overcome the obstacles created by these threats.
Learn MoreAfter a virtual hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 75th edition of Hannover Messe this year took place in a physical format, with everyone connecting face-to-face again. To get a sense of perspective, during the four-day event, from May 30 to June 2, 2,500 exhibitors (last year: 1,800) presented their products and innovations to 75,000 visitors and 15,000 online attendees (last year: 90,000 registered participants).
Learn MoreIn advance of IDC’s European Manufacturing Summit in November we have been discussing some of the key topics and challenges with the IDC Advisory Board. Some of the current challenges in the manufacturing industry relate to the ongoing supply chain disruptions, exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine War and the resurgence of COVID-19 in China, which continue to cause supply shortages, a lack of skills to pursue digital transformation, and most importantly a lack of IT skills to develop smart and connected products to enable new business models, ensure cybersecurity and embed sustainability targets into operations.
Learn MoreThis IDC Perspective summarizes key takeaways from IDC's European Manufacturing Digital Summit 2022, which took place on November 15, 2022. The key theme of this year's summit was "Thriving in the Manufacturing Industry with PRIME." An impressive panel of speakers from our partners and manufacturing CXO community, complemented by insights from our European IDC Manufacturing Insights team, contributed to this event.
