The landscape of European manufacturing is undergoing a profound transformation, caught between geopolitical tensions, shifting economic priorities, and technological disruption. Harald Eppinger of Koh Young offers a candid assessment of where Europe stands and what's needed to revitalize its industrial leadership."We are competitive in technology, we have the right people in charge," Eppinger asserts, highlighting that Europe's challenges stem not from capability but from hesitation. This wake-up call comes at a critical moment as defense spending increases dramatically across the continent, creating substantial opportunities in communications technology, satellite systems, and aerospace development. Regional variations tell a nuanced story – the UK has "recovered wisely" post-Brexit, while Scandinavia maintains its traditional strength. Central Europe faces greater challenges, with many potential projects stuck in the "what if" phase of planning. The solution, Eppinger suggests, lies in collaborative partnerships that leverage each vendor's strengths while presenting unified solutions to customers. This shift from isolated competition to strategic collaboration fundamentally changes how manufacturing operates.For manufacturing leaders looking to navigate this changing landscape, the message is clear: competitiveness requires collaboration, data exchange, and process visualization. Those who embrace these principles stand ready to benefit as European manufacturing potentially rebounds in 2025. EMS@C-Level Live at APEX is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com)EMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.
