The Future of Manufacturing Innovation: Creating Value in Challenging Times With Technological and Enterprise Know-How
The building blocks for future-proof manufacturing were on display at Hannover Messe. How will you harness them?
Efficiency and sustainability — achieving these critical goals will determine the future leaders throughout the challenging manufacturing landscape. That truth was not lost on anyone at Hannover Messe 2024. Based on our conversations with clients, four specific topics are dominating the way industry leaders are planning their next steps:
- A pressing need for sustainable energy management strategies
- The call for enhanced worker enablement using Generative AI
- The accelerating drive for greater automation on the shop floor
- A push for Gen AI-driven customer engagement
Each of these constitutes a pillar of future-proofed industrial operations. But for manufacturers, the risks of a mediocre rollout are very real. Deploying the right technology strategy in the right way will be the key to not just surviving — but thriving.
Securing the future profitability and reliability of your manufacturing operations requires an interwoven approach of technical and business acumen. That’s the core idea underpinning SoftServe and KPMG’s strategic partnership.
A perfect storm: regulatory pressure and market demands

The dual pressures of increased efficiency demands and heightened sustainability requirements are no longer secondary trends on the periphery — they are the bedrocks of future relevance. As governments ratchet up their ESG reporting requirements and market dynamics weed out middling performers with bloated operations, one thing is clear: transformative technology strategies are key to survival.
