Autonomous manufacturing and cyber threats targeting 95% of factories demand aligned global regulations, clear safety frameworks, and robust cybersecurity. This session explores how ISO, UNECE standards, and zero-trust security enable safe autonomous operations whilst building stakeholder confidence and accelerating industry adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies.

• How are harmonised global standards (ISO, UNECE) creating a baseline for safe autonomous systems and accelerating adoption?
• How do cybersecurity standards and zero-trust security protect factories from cyber threats and strengthen supply chain resilience?
• What measurable safety and cybersecurity outcomes drive human–machine collaboration without operational disruption?
• What role do consistent regulatory frameworks play in building investor confidence and attracting capital to autonomous manufacturing?
