Inside The Factories Of The Future

This video is part of: Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains

What does the factory of the future actually look like?

In this documentary, we travel to Viet Nam, Türkiye and the United States to step inside three leading manufacturing facilities recognized by the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network.

From AI-assisted production and workforce training to renewable energy and resource efficiency, we explore how companies including Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII), Beko and Ericsson are rethinking the way factories operate.

What we found wasn't just new technology – it was people learning, adapting and helping shape the future of manufacturing.
