“Factories of the Future” is a European Union contractual public-private partnership supported through the Horizon 2020 research programme. The overall aim of the partnership is to enable a more sustainable and a more competitive European industry at the centre of Europe’s economy – generating growth and securing jobs. The partnership will achieve this by supporting European manufacturing enterprises in strengthening their technological base.

“Factories of the Future” is industry-led with participation by small, medium and large enterprises, universities, research organisations and associations from across Europe who cooperate in pre-competitive, cross-broader projects focusing on production technologies from multiple sectors.

The research priorities of the partnership are identified in the “Factories of the Future 2020” roadmap which was developed by the European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA) after Europe-wide consultations.

EFFRA is the representative of the private partners in the “Factories of the Future” public-private partnership (PPP). Launched by President Barroso in 2009, under the European Economic Recovery Plan, the “Factories of the Future” PPP represents a joint investment of close to €1 billion to facilitate pre-competitive European research on production technologies through pan-European consortia.

EFFRA was established by the MANUFUTURE Technology Platform and leading European industries. EFFRA is a non-for-profit industry driven association, promoting the development of new and innovative production technologies. It’s membership is composed of large industrial companies, SMEs, research organisations and related associations.
