About Better Factory
Better Factory is a 16-month programme funded under the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme. It empowers European manufacturing SMEs to enhance their global competitiveness by harnessing the combined expertise of artists and technology providers. Through generous funding of up to €200,000, teams embark on a 16-month journey to innovate and refine their processes, supported by the project’s 28 expert partners located across Europe.
Now in its final year, the Better Factory project marks a significant milestone in this journey that began in October 2020. Over the past four years, 16 dynamic teams have participated in the transformative Better Factory program, yielding pioneering art-driven solutions for the manufacturing industry.
Throughout the program, participating conventional factories have been transformed into lean-agile production facilities capable of manufacturing new and personalized products alongside existing ones. Promising results include solutions such as new 3D printing methods, pioneering durable materials, IoT corks and sustainable wine production, a new circular material for young tree growth, a smart digitized envelope, zero waste metal production, eco-friendly diving fins, and sustainable durable drinking straws.
Join us on this journey to discover how Better Factory is shaping the future of manufacturing and creating a more sustainable and competitive industrial sector.
