Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic promise—it is becoming a powerful catalyst for change across Romania’s manufacturing sector. From predictive maintenance and quality control to autonomous systems and process optimization, AI technologies are increasingly integrated into industrial operations, unlocking new levels of productivity, precision, and flexibility.

This panel explores how Romanian manufacturers are transitioning from pilot projects and hype-driven narratives to real-world AI applications that deliver measurable results. Discussions will focus on practical use cases, return on investment, workforce transformation, and the challenges of implementation—such as data availability, system integration, and ethical considerations. The panel will also examine how AI adoption is influenced by EU digital policy, funding opportunities, and cross-industry collaboration.

Bringing together factory managers, AI experts, technology providers, and policymakers, the session highlights the pathways through which AI can drive industrial competitiveness while fostering innovation. The panel aims to showcase Romania’s emerging success stories and inspire broader adoption of AI solutions across all layers of the manufacturing ecosystem.
