The Efficient and Sustainable Manufacturing (ESM) Pilot will organise an online plenary meeting on 16 December 16th to share the progresses of the pilots' four demo-cases; De- and Remanufacturing, Digital Transformation, Polymer-based functional products, Energy-flexible and resource-efficient factory operation. The event will also be the occasion to discuss future actions planned for 2021 triggered by the presentation of opportunities for S3-based inter-regional innovation in Horizon Europe.
