On 28 May, AIDA CCI, a beneficiary partner in the REMAIN project, held an awareness-raising session focused on the challenges and opportunities offered by the circular economy, artificial intelligence and industrial remanufacturing in moving towards a more sustainable, efficient and competitive industry.
During the event, specialists, companies and professionals shared knowledge and experiences related to industrial transformation, addressing key issues such as the application of artificial intelligence and computer vision in production processes, remanufacturing strategies, and the role of the circular economy in optimising resources and extending the life cycle of products.

The session provided a space for exchange and reflection on the new technologies, business models and good practices that are helping to redefine the future of industry. It also showcased projects and initiatives demonstrating how technological innovation can promote more efficient use of resources, reduce environmental impact and strengthen the competitiveness of the business sector.
The involvement of the partners and participants enriched the debate and highlighted the importance of collaboration between companies, scientific and technological organisations, and other stakeholders within the innovation ecosystem.
Through the project, initiatives will continue to be promoted to encourage the adoption of sustainable and innovative practices, contributing to the development of a more resilient, circular industry that is ready to face the challenges of the future in the Sudoe area.
