Magazine

Europe’s manufacturing landscape is undergoing profound transformation and our latest edition of the CECIMO Magazine explores what this moment means for the industry. The 19th edition, NextGen Manufacturing, highlights the innovations, strategies, and forward-looking trends that are shaping advanced manufacturing across Europe.

Today, advanced manufacturing stands at the intersection of digitalisation, sustainability, and renewed industrial ambition. Yet its role is still too often framed narrowly around resilience and supply chains. In this issue, we broaden the lens: advanced manufacturing is a strategic European capability, a key to decarbonisation, digital leadership, medical breakthroughs, and the strength of Europe’s industrial base.

As the EU sets its priorities for Horizon Europe and the new Competitiveness Fund, we make a clear case: advanced manufacturing must be placed at the centre of Europe’s industrial agenda. This edition brings together expert insights, success stories, and fresh perspectives from across the sector. We extend our sincere thanks to all contributors whose work enriches this magazine.

Read our magazine and explore how Europe can unlock the full potential of NextGen manufacturing and build a stronger, more competitive industrial future.
