Help shape what Industry 5.0 becomes.
Five ways to work with Sustainable Intelligence: research collaboration, public consultation, pilot assessments, cities and regions, and delivery partners. Each opens our contact form with the topic already chosen.
Join the Industry 5.0 Benchmark initiative.
i5Benchmark has been reviewed and approved for publication by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) on the UN SDG Actions Platform as SDG Acceleration Action #SDGAction49212. The initiative advances practical methodologies, evidence-based assessment and collaboration around human-centricity, sustainability and resilience.
Universities, enterprises, cities and regions, financial institutions, technology organisations and delivery partners can contribute research, evidence, pilot environments, sector expertise and implementation capacity.
