VDMA Robotics + Automation has called on EU policymakers to boost Europe's competitiveness in robotics and automation.
The organization issued a 'Robotics Action Plan for Europe' and emphasized the need for a robotics boost, more venture capital for startups, a competition roadmap, and a focus on economies of scale.
Europe is currently falling behind in international competitiveness, with countries like China surpassing it in robot density.
The VDMA's recommendations aim to revamp Europe's competitiveness, safeguard its sovereignty, and successfully manage the transition to carbon neutrality.
