Industry 5.0 is a concept introduced by the European Commission in the early 2020s, representing a significant shift in our relationship with technology. This concept envisions technology as a companion designed to serve humanity meaningfully. As artificial intelligence and automation continue transforming the workplace and our daily lives, Industry 5.0 promotes a more human, sustainable, and responsible approach to technology – a shift toward a regenerative and human-centric industrial paradigm. This article will explore the key concepts of Industry 5.0 and technological humanism, their interconnection, and why Finland is positioned to lead this development.
