Up2Date 2025 mobilises more than 7,000 professionals
Up2Date, the annual online knowledge event organised by Agoria and Sirris, exceeded all expectations this year. With the motto ‘Knowledge is only valuable if it mobilises people’, we brought together thousands of business leaders, experts and professionals to discuss strategy, technology and regulations. Above all, though, the focus was on how to turn these things into action.
Record participation demonstrates growing hunger for practical knowledge
Up2Date 2025 broke all records: more than 7,000 registrations, 1,680 unique professionals from 880 companies and more than 90 sessions at which knowledge was used to define steps.
These figures show that Agoria and Sirris are accurately reflecting what drives companies today and how they can grow with confidence.
Why this matters for your business
Up2Date proves that learning can be rapid, relevant and applicable. Each session provided practical tools: checklists, roadmaps and inspiring case studies to increase the pace of discussions at the boardroom table.
As an added bonus for members: all presentations can still be accessed, an ideal resource for sharing internally or determining next steps with colleagues.
A number of stand-out topics came out of the numerous sessions
The manufacturing industry: from insight to impact
The sessions focusing on the manufacturing industry yielded practical insights into subjects such as digitisation, sustainable production, the energy transition and innovation. With its Made Real demonstrators, its industrial vision of the energy transition and the ‘Make the Future’ programme, Sirris demonstrated how companies can test, adapt and accelerate the implementation of new technologies, from digitisation to energy efficiency.
By applying the 7-transformation methodology of Industry 4.0, the manufacturing industry can respond more quickly to market changes and become future-proof. Companies that want to continue their transformation work after Up2Date can participate in the Make the Future programme. This offers both a structured approach and personalised guidance to turn the insights that have been gained into a sustainable action plan that is tailored to each company’s specific challenges and ambitions.
