The ET NOW Future Factories Summit aims to bring together industry experts, manufacturers, and enterprises actively shaping the path towards Smart Manufacturing in India. Aligned with the Government of India’s ambitious target to increase manufacturing output contribution to 25% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2025 (currently at 16%), the summit serves as a platform for collaboration.

By fostering joint efforts from the government, industry, and academia, India can address challenges, seize opportunities, and lay the foundation for a manufacturing renaissance in sync with the digital age. The evolution towards smart factories goes beyond technological progress; it involves reshaping the future of Indian manufacturing and enhancing its role in the global economy.
