Case studies are a constant source of inspiration for all. They show us the efforts, expectations, and key elements for pioneering organisations and individuals in the way of succes. This session will introduce the cases of outstanding experiences in the field of Circular Manufacturing such as EUR3KA, digiPRIME, ECOPASS, FACTLOG and debate the role of the Digital Twins. Opportunities and challenges will be assessed on the road to the effective Circular Economy, taking into account Circular Economy in Industry 5.0; the Pandemics and the global value chains; and AI-enabled Digital Twins for Circularity.
