The Digital Product Passport is a new element of manufacturing operations; it will serve as a mandatory component for individual products, providing comprehensive, online-accessible information based on data gathered throughout the product's entire lifecycle. EU regulations, mandate the use of the Digital Product Passport, starting with batteries from February 18, 2027. Subsequent product groups subject to this requirement will be introduced gradually and include, among others: tires, steel, aluminum, textiles, electrical and electronic equipment, construction materials, and toys. 

The imminent implementation of the Digital Product Passport necessitates urgent preparatory action by enterprises. 

The conference aims to raise awareness of this topic, outline the regulatory framework, showcase implementation best practices from other countries, explain the operational context, and provide guidance on effectively integrating this component into daily business practice. 

The Digital Product Passport represents not only a regulatory obligation but also an opportunity to enhance product value - an aspect that will also be highlighted during the conference.

Solutions Driving Industry – Technologies Transforming Production

How can you effectively leverage artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital technologies to increase production efficiency and build a competitive advantage? Answers to these questions will be the central theme of the conference, which will take place during Warsaw Industry Week 2026. The event will bring together experts, industry representatives, and suppliers of modern technologies, presenting solutions that are already being used in modern production plants.

The focus will be on practical implementations, case studies, and proven solutions supporting the digital transformation of enterprises. Participants will be able to explore the latest possibilities of using AI in production data analysis, robotics and process automation, integration of production and business systems, digitization of production, 3D technology, and modern production management methods. Experts will demonstrate how carefully selected technologies translate into increased productivity, improved quality, better data utilization, and more efficient process management within the enterprise.

The conference will also provide an opportunity to discuss the competencies of the future and the changing role of humans in an increasingly automated production environment. This is a proposal for business owners, management staff, production directors, engineers and anyone who wants to learn about the practical experiences of companies, draw inspiration from market leaders and learn how to effectively implement innovations in industry.

Industrial Operational Resilience: From Security to Business Continuity.

For years, the primary question in the industrial sector was: how can we produce faster and more efficiently? 

Today, a different question is increasingly coming to the fore: how can we maintain uninterrupted production—despite mounting threats, changes, and unforeseen events?

A modern factory must be more than just fast and efficient; it must be resilient.Polish industry is facing a new wave of transformation. Investments in automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, and digitalization are coinciding with the introduction of new regulations, such as NIS2 and the Cyber ​​Resilience Act. At the same time, enterprises must contend with cyber threats, the risk of downtime, the growing complexity of production environments, and the pressure to ensure business continuity.

None of these challenges can be solved by a single technology or a single vendor. Industrial operational resilience emerges at the intersection of diverse competencies: automation, robotics, IT and OT systems, cybersecurity, and engineering expertise. System integrators play a pivotal role in this process by combining solutions from various manufacturers into a cohesive, secure, and reliable production environment. They are the ones who translate technological potential into tangible business outcomes: enhanced security, reduced downtime, and greater production flexibility and stability.The Polish Automation and Robotics Forum conference will demonstrate how to build operational resilience in enterprises in practice. The starting point will be the real-world challenges manufacturing plants face daily, while the core of the program will feature case studies presented jointly by technology manufacturers, system integrators, and industrial enterprises. It is precisely the collaboration between these sectors that enables the creation of solutions that not only address today’s challenges but also prepare organizations for future ones.

 Participants will explore practical implementation examples, key regulatory requirements, and solutions designed to enhance the safety, reliability, and continuity of production processes.

The conference will demonstrate that operational resilience is no longer merely an aspect of risk management; it is a fundamental operational imperative.

Circular Industry Forum – Compliance Technologies and Capital

What happens to a company that offers a good product at a competitive price but cannot demonstrate its environmental footprint, the origin of its raw materials, or the compliance of its supply chain?Such questions are increasingly affecting access to contracts, financing, and international markets. Companies must simultaneously modernize their production processes, reduce energy and material costs, meet regulatory requirements, and prepare their employees for new technologies.The Circular Industry Forum – Technologies, Compliance and Capital is being created as a platform for a practical discussion on how to manage this transformation safely and profitably.This one-day expert and business event, organized by the Sustainable Development Foundation as a partner event of Warsaw Industry Week 2026, will bring together representatives of industry, technology providers, financial institutions, public administration, industry organizations, and expert communities.

What Will We Discuss?

The first part of the Forum will focus on technologies and the circular economy. Experts will discuss the modernization of machinery and production facilities, equipment refurbishment and remanufacturing, the use of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems, closing material loops, and reducing risks associated with process chemicals.The second module will bring together law, compliance, financing, and people management. Participants will learn how to prepare their companies for audits, secure B2B contracts, collect reliable ESG data, and respond effectively to the requirements of major customers. We will also discuss investment financing and the skills and competencies required to implement new technologies.An important part of the programme will be a practical case study on environmental violations and risks occurring within companies. Participants will learn about the most common mistakes in waste records, emissions reporting, documentation, and permitting. An expert will demonstrate how to prepare a facility for inspections, verify waste recipients, and safely use materials within the framework of the circular economy.The Forum will conclude with a Round Table of Decision-Makers. Representatives of business, public administration, and financial institutions will discuss regulatory barriers, green public procurement, access to capital, and the competitiveness of Polish industry.The conclusions of the discussion will serve as the basis for preparing a working Green Industry Declaration and a programme for further working groups.
