Manufacturing Renaissance: Europe's Physical AI Opportunity

For decades, complex handling tasks resisted automation, pushing manufacturing toward low-cost economies.

Physical AI now offers the opportunity to reverse this: it expands automatable work by up to 50% and cuts robot deployment costs by over half. If this wall falls, Europe has a narrow, historic window to rebuild its industrial base and compete on its own terms. At Falling Walls, BCG unites industry leaders, innovators and researchers to discuss how to deploy Physical AI on the shopfloor at scale.
