The future of industry officially broke ground in Slovenske Konjice with the start of construction for the Institute for Industry 5.0 – a space dedicated to shaping a human-centric, sustainable, and resilient industrial future. 🏗️🌍

We were pleased to welcome dr. Jože Guna from the University of Ljubljana,  as a partner in the RECENTRE project – a European initiative supporting SMEs in their transformation toward more innovative and people-centered practices– his presence at the event symbolized how RECENTRE’s mission is being realized in practice.

The Institute for Industry 5.0 itself stands as a living example of this transformation, bringing together business, academia, and community to co-create meaningful change.

During the event, we:
✅ Shared the Institute’s vision and strategic direction
✅ Welcomed collaboration from companies and organizations
✅ Presented opportunities to lease or purchase space in the new building

Thank you to all who joined us — the Industry 5.0 era is here, and the transformation has already begun.
