Manufacturers need to factor sustainability and circularity into their processes – and that is not always particularly straightforward.

The Green PLM® Conference 2024 will tackle Product Lifecycle Management. It will explore IT solutions enabling manufacturers to establish an efficient data flow. This two-way flow will let them make their products' lifecycle as sustainable as possible - and then report on it, in accordance with EcoDesign and Circular Economy regulations.

Data is key in manufacturing: decisions on a product's entire lifecycle must be made at an early stage of development, and that requires data. The conference will look at methods, processes and IT solutions that enable end-to-end data management and continuous data analysis for sustainable product lifecycle.

It will be an opportunity to bring industrial players together: manufacturers, solution providers, regulatory and standards bodies and academics. Participants will be able to discuss barriers, challenges and solutions. There will be lectures with top speakers from industry and research, covering current trends in Green PLM®. The afternoon programme consists of three parallel sessions with lectures and discussions, as well as networking opportunities.

The conference will mostly be in German, with some sessions in English. It will take place at EUREF Campus Berlin-Schöneberg on 14 November. Register.
