Untitled design - 2023-01-30T111427.112

In November 2022, CECIMO signed a partnership agreement with EIT Manufacturing that means the value of strategic importance for the future in the machine tool sector and advanced manufacturing.

This will be a great opportunity not only to address common challenges but also to move forward together and achieve the following objectives:

  • Promote industry-driven and cross-sectoral initiatives that accelerate advanced manufacturing and digital businesses.
  • Align on key issues and establish new strategies to promote the EU’s sustainable manufacturing.
  • Support SMEs in the strategic shift toward the adoption of digital technologies to enable the business growth.
  • Foster partnerships, training, and education programs to tap into the full potential of the new technologies

Moreover, as of January 2023, CECIMO officially became a member of the Business at OECD (BIAC), an international business group and solutions partner bringing over 60 years of experience officially representing the private sector in all aspects of OECD policymaking.

Such membership will give us the opportunity to participate in OECD Committees, Working Parties and Expert Groups on different areas (e.g., Energy, Environment, SMEs, Trade and Innovation). CECIMO joins this global network of 45 major business federations and their corporate affiliates to work on data, European and international advocacy and expand its networking reach. Being part of the BIAC represents added value of strategic importance for the future of the manufacturing sector and gives us the opportunity to contribute to OECD policy recommendations to impact policy-making at an early stage.
