European industry has embarked on a path of digital transformation.
Whilst the concept of Industry 4.0 has been driven primarily by
productivity and technological considerations, the last ten years have
clearly demonstrated the need for wider perspectives to make digital
transformation work.

1. Industrial companies do
not exist in a vacuum –
employees must also
share in the resulting
productivity gains.
Employees also have
responsibilities - not
least to take control of
their own skills
development.
Three changes are required:
2. Industry itself must
become greener and
more circular.
These changes also
require new
management and
workforce skills.
3. Investing in skills and
finding new synergies
between the interests of
companies and their
employees is a priority
if industry is to become
more resilient in the
face of an increasingly
volatile world.

Why Bridges?
Our European industries need to become
more sustainable, human-centric and
resilient. The European Commission has
formulated a policy called Industry 5.0.
Industry 5.0 is not so much a next stage in
industrial development, but a policy
intended to help companies change their
company practices.
Managers, employees and customers must work together to support green
production processes, services and products. Companies need to reuse materials
to reduce their reliance on scarce resources. To make this all happen, companies
need to understand that they must put their most scarce resource at the centre of
their operation: the human worker.
Using the intellect of the human worker,
Industry 5.0 as a policy can support
companies to make use of the newest
technologies to their fullest extent. Industry
5.0 does not put profit first but the necessary
societal change that can be achieved with better
use of all resources, technology – circularity –
skills, in companies.
The goals of Industry 5.0 can only be
achieved if workforce skills are
redeveloped.
The outcomes contribute to the right supply of
skilled workers who will enable companies to
optimise the gains from digital technology and
the right skills to deal with the digital and
green transition to achieve a sustainable,
resilient and fairer future for Europe.
Stakeholders’ commitment is crucial to the success of Industry 5.0,
and BRIDGES 5.0 creates a unique consortium collaboration between
researchers, 8 EU-industrial companies, 9 Industry 4.0 ecosystems
and the main EU social partners. An interactive process is created
between stakeholders to align with their differing interests, and the
research results, produced in 7 steps, will be a vital resource for the
stakeholders. A business plan supports the sustainability of the
Industry 5.0 Platform.

Project objectives
Quantitatively map how jobs are
transforming and what new green and
digital jobs are emerging in Industry 4.0; and
qualitatively understand Industry 5.0
requirements (human- and socio-centric,
sustainable and resilience) for these jobs
and company practices;
Map Industry 5.0 skills and skill gaps at
the EU-level and five EU-institutional
contexts for emerging green and digital
jobs; and enable monitoring of skill gaps
using skills taxonomies/standards;
Set up learning trajectories and training
pathways, using the enriched Teaching and
Learning Factories concepts, and experiment
with these interventions to reduce skill gaps
for four target groups, i.e. managers,
employees, job seekers and students;
Engage a range of industry and related
stakeholders at regional, national and EU
levels and co-produce a web platform
called Industry 5.0 Platform. The
platform facilitates social innovation in the
learning field and provides these
stakeholders and target groups with
recommendations and instruments for new
learning and training systems.
BRIDGES 5.0 bridges risks
to an inclusive digital and
green future by enhancing
workforce skills for
Industry 5.0. To achieve this
ambition, four objectives are
central:
