SHOE 5.0

Partnership for Footwear Industry 5.0 Readiness 

Description

The Erasmus+ Shoe 5.0 project follows the concept of Society 5.0 and Industry 5.0. Within Society 5.0, the well-being of the worker is at the centre of the production process, who should use new technologies to provide prosperity beyond jobs and growth, while respecting the production limits of the planet.

This project will provide them competencies that are not only focused on technology implementation but also on finding solutions to societal challenges including the preservation of resources, climate change, digitalisation and social stability.
