Back to the Future: Emerging Topics for Long Term Resilience in Manufacturing

Resilience is a fundamental driver for competitiveness, allowing organisations to face future challenges and unexpected disruptions.

The 2021 edition of Back to the Future, a yearly initiative coordinated by the World Manufacturing Foundation, will explore emerging topics for long-term resilience in manufacturing.

The focus of this year’s research will be on building stronger global value chains and on people and policies as enablers of future developments.
