1. Overview of the Twin Transition
The twin transition refers to the simultaneous green and digital transformation of the economy. In the metal sector, it combines environmental sustainability with digital innovation to create more competitive, resilient, and resource-efficient companies.
The green transition focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, increasing the use of renewable energy, minimizing waste, and supporting circular economy principles. At the same time, the digital transition introduces advanced technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to modernize production processes.
The key drivers of the twin transition include increasingly stringent environmental regulations, customer demand for sustainable products, technological innovation, and the need to improve productivity and competitiveness.
The expected outcomes for the metal sector include:
stronger long-term competitiveness.
lower environmental impact;
increased operational efficiency;
reduced production costs;
improved product quality;
creation of new business opportunities;
development of new skills and employment opportunities;
