2. Summary
2
The “Industry 4.0” paradigm have generated new opportunities and new challenges for
companies. In order to increase their competitiveness and efficiency, companies have to face the
digital transformation of the production and logistics chains (smart manufacturing) and of
products (smart interconnected objects)
The impact of the fourth industrial revolution is huge in terms of involved stakeholders and in
potential economic growth. The European Commission, in the Digital Single Market framework,
has launched in 2016 the first Industry-related initiatives. However, most have been done in this
year by means of single national initiatives. This approach has produced the creation of different
training activities in the different countries, that lacks of a unified approach. The need to support
the digital transformation of EU Industrial sector and to support the recognition of competences
in this sector are the rationale behind the I4EU project. In line with the national and European
policies the main objective is qualifying new professionals able to support the digital
transformation of the European companies in the industrial sector, according to the Industry 4.0
paradigm
