CHALLANGES IN EUROPE Adapt fast to the changes or risks losing its competitiveness in the global market European Commission report show that only around 6% of companies in basic metals & fabricated metal products excluding machines & equipment are highly digitised. Only 16% of SMEs in EU are highly digitized Lack of highly qualified engineers, technicians and machine operators, who are most demanded by industry

CHALLENGES IN LITHUANIA Major challenge for Lithuania is to lower dependence on contract manufacturing of low value-added products Turning current and future public R&D investments into applied research and to start create and develop more new end used products. Local industry is dominated by SMEs with low-level technology readiness. Small number of high value added end product producers. Lack of highly qualified engineers, technicians and machine operators, who are most demanded by industry Insufficiently balanced labour markets: current education does not meet industry needs.
HOW TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY / EFFICIENCY? Produce more products in a time unit Provide more complex decisions Innovate and produce highvalue added products Management Process management Skills Competences Technology transfer DIGITALIZATION AUTOMATION ROBOTIZATION The transition from services providers to high added value product producers and service creators, creation of R&D centers
