Join us for a meetup of the Israel Industry 4.0 Community & the Ignite the Spark Energy Community. We will bring together local and international stakeholders to discuss one of the biggest challenges the industrial world is facing today.

With the current global conversation centered around climate change and finding solutions that will last for the future, Industry 4.0 is primed to be a part of the revolution. The rising cost of electrical consumption has a special impact on manufacturing due to the scale of use. As manufacturers upgrade for Industry 4.0, their new intelligent, digitally-networked ecosystems provide an opportunity to tackle energy efficiency as well.
