Europe's industry and infrastructure are facing significant challenges: a shortage of skilled personnel, aging assets and the transition towards a more sustainable business. These challenges offer an opportunity to leverage AI and smart maintenance technologies. Instead of facing these challenges individually, sectors such as process industry, infrastructure, maritime, new energy, and manufacturing can learn from and support each other, as they all confront similar issues.
On 8 and 9 April 2025, Maintenance NEXT will therefore host the conference "Meeting More Maintenance Minds" at the state-of-the-art Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre (RACC). This conference offers a unique platform for top-tier professionals of all sectors to exchange best practices with their counterparts. During plenary sessions, C-level speakers from diverse industries will engage in discussions with their peers, to encourage optimal knowledge sharing between sectors.
By hosting this high-quality conference simultaneously with the Maintenance NEXT exhibition, participants and exhibitors benefit from numerous opportunities to explore synergies between industries, exchange insights, and access a broader spectrum of solutions and expertise. This integrated approach promotes deeper collaboration and innovation, making future maintenance more efficient and effective.
