[ About ]

Europe’s Engineering in Transition

Engineering is a truly European industry. So VDMA is becoming an increasingly European organisation. With the European Summit, VDMA and Produktion has created a  conference designed for leading decision-makers in the European engineering sector to discuss the present and future challenges of our industry and provide a platform for exchange. Come to Rome and meet your industry peers! Our economy is in transition: supply chains and markets are under increasing strain due to several crises, the decoupling of the US and China severely affects companies in the EU, and pressure to address climate change is steadily growing. What are the strategic implications for companies? And which business models will prevail? We are convinced that these topics are worth discussing on 12 and 13 March 2026 for the European Summit. See you in Rome!
