Manufacturing as a Service: Building the Future of European Industry

On the 23rd of October 2025, directly following the EFFRA Manufacturing Days, the Horizon Europe MASTT2040 project will host an interactive session in Brussels. The conference will bring together key stakeholders from across Europe’s manufacturing, research, and policy communities to discuss the future of Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) in the context of the EU’s green and digital transitions.

What to expect

The event will be an open dialogue on:

• How MaaS can support resilient and circular industrial ecosystems.
• The role of data, digital infrastructure, and AI in next-generation manufacturing.
• Policy and standardisation frameworks needed to accelerate uptake and scale.
• Lessons learned and tools developed within the MASTT2040 project.
• Opportunities for continued collaboration across EU initiatives and industry networks.
