Target Groups

Who EMPOWR is Designed For

Manufacturing workers and operators

EMPOWR is designed to support workers who perform complex, repetitive, safety-critical or cognitively demanding tasks. The project aims to provide clearer guidance, reduce strain, support upskilling and increase trust in digital tools.

Advanced manufacturing companies

Industrial organisations can use EMPOWR results to explore safer human-machine collaboration, lower defect rates, reduced downtime, improved process quality and more attractive industrial workplaces.

Manufacturing SMEs and industrial clusters

SMEs and clusters can benefit from modular, transferable approaches to human-centric augmentation, training and Industry 5.0 readiness.

AI, AR, IoT and Digital Twin technology providers

Technology developers can build on EMPOWR evidence, requirements, user insights and interoperability approaches to design more usable and trustworthy industrial solutions.

Educational and Training providers

Training actors can use EMPOWR curricula, scenarios and competency frameworks to support workers in the transition towards AI-supported manufacturing environments.

Policy makers and standardisation bodies

EMPOWR will provide evidence and policy input on human-centric AI, AR, Digital Twin validation, worker rights, ergonomics, safety-by-design and Industry 5.0 transition pathways.

Researchers and Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) communities

Researchers and SSH experts can use project outputs on human-machine interaction, cognitive load, adoption, trust, ethics and organisational transformation.

Workers associations and civil society

Labour organisations and social stakeholders can engage with EMPOWR outputs to ensure that advanced manufacturing innovation protects dignity, inclusion and human oversight.
