MANUFACTURING AS A SERVICE FOR THE EU'S TWIN TRANSITION UNTIL 2040 (MASTT2040)

The MASTT2040 project aims to (1) Use strategic foresight methods in an inclusive and participatory manner to build a shared understanding of which changes, opportunities or disruptions are present and emerging both inside and outside of the Manufacturing-as-a-Service domain to guide decision making, strategies and actions for the EU manufacturing sector in the context of twin transition up to 2040. (2) Actively engage key stakeholders within the MaaS and CE communities, manufacturing industry as well as standards developing organisations to jointly elaborate a strategic roadmap and action plan addressing short-term (5-years), medium-term (10-years) and long-term (15-years) timescales to identify and track desired developments in order to advance digitalisation, circularity, decarbonisation and sustainability of industrial production.We strive to guide European industry community to assure that:- MaaS can become a key enabler for speeding-up and scaling-up circularity and the provision of R-cycle services.- Sustainability becomes an integral part of MaaS approaches, leading to optimal sustainable industrial production and supply for all new products (in linear and circular economy).- MaaS increases resilience of supply by strengthening local European production networks of SMEs. - Europe scales up MaaS to create a critical mass of expertise and the right supporting policy measures to accelerate the uptake of MaaS in strategic areas of importance for the TWIN transition in Europe and to ensure strategic autonomy in MaaS and CE strengthened by leading the development of key digital, enabling and emerging technologies.MASTT2040 combines the expertise of industrial umbrella organizations specialized in manufacturing strategy development and foresight: SIRRIS (Belgium), Cluster COMET (Italy), Future Industry Platform (Poland), Steinbeis (Germany), Thhink (Netherlands) and 4CF The Futures Literacy Company (Poland).
