involves the integration of technologies such as automation, robotics, AI, Digital Twins, Additive Manufacturing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to create highly flexible and efficient production systems. The ongoing trends of digitalization and sustainability have paved the way for the emergence of a new paradigm in manufacturing known as Industry 5.0. This latest trend emphasizes the importance of collaboration between humans and machines, creating a symbiotic relationship that leverages the strengths of both to drive innovation and productivity in manufacturing. With its focus on human-centred manufacturing, Industry 5.0 represents a significant industry shift, one that promises to drive customization, personalization, and sustainability in production processes.

refers to the integration of technology and healthcare to create solutions that improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. The ongoing trends of digitalisation, personalised medicine, and aging population are driving the rapid growth of this industry. Advanced technologies such as AI, blockchain, big data analytics, and IoT are transforming the way healthcare is delivered, enabling remote patient monitoring, real-time diagnostics, and personalised treatments. eHealth, wearable technology, smart medical devices, and mobile health apps are empowering patients to take control of their own health and well-being. Furthermore, the concept of digital human twins is a new area that is gaining attention, where a patient’s physiological data is used to create a virtual model of their body, allowing for the prediction of health risks and the delivery of personalised treatment plans. This is a field where SSH issues are key and usually SME do not properly address, generating additional costs, longer time to market. Moreover, it is also a highly-regulated field and access to regulatory expertise is scarce.

innovations in electric vehicle technology, autonomous driving systems, and connected vehicle platforms are transforming the way we move, making transportation safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. Mobility innovation is also being driven by the growing demand for personalised and on-demand mobility services, with the rise of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platforms that seamlessly integrate different modes of transportation into a single platform. The integration of advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and data analytics is enabling the development of more efficient, responsive, and customer-centric mobility solutions. Ethical/behavioural aspects are key SSH issues.
