National Congress of Industry and SMEs

The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism organises the sixth edition of the National Congress of Industry and SMEs on 2 and 3 October. Under the slogan: “Net Zero: the industry of the future”, this edition will not only address Industry 4.0, but also the major challenges facing Spanish industry and SMEs, such as decarbonisation, artificial intelligence, industrial and technological sovereignty and attracting talent. The congress will be held in 5 parallel sectoral rooms and more than 50 round tables, together with a networking area where attendees will be able to schedule meetings and strengthen links that foster the creation of collaborative environments.

The National Congress of Industry and SMEs will be the prelude to the European Commission’s EU Industry Days which, during the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the EU in the second half of the year, will be held in Spain to present the main challenges and opportunities facing European industry in an increasingly competitive, changing, and unpredictable environment.
