Partnership
Help shape what Industry 5.0 becomes.
Sustainable Intelligence works with academic institutions, enterprises, cities, financial institutions, technology organisations and delivery partners to develop, test and apply Industry 5.0 methodologies and intelligence products.
UN-recognised SDG Acceleration Action
Join the Industry 5.0 Benchmark initiative.
Following review, the Industry 5.0 Benchmark was selected and registered by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs as an SDG Acceleration Action. The initiative advances practical methodologies, evidence-based assessment and collaboration around human-centricity, sustainability and resilience.
Universities, enterprises, cities and regions, financial institutions, technology organisations and delivery partners can contribute research, evidence, pilot environments, sector expertise and implementation capacity.
