System innovation and Holistic design experimentation to Incentivize and accelerate Future and long-term Transitions to industry 5.0

Objective

SHIFT 5.0 is a mission-oriented innovation action that operationalizes the European Industry 5.0 vision through systemic experimentation. Grounded in systems thinking, Quadruple Helix collaboration, and continuous SSH integration, the project combines diagnostic rigor with societal legitimacy.

Six Regional Transformation Nodes (RTNs) conduct participatory analyses to validate long-term transformation challenges, including skills gap, attracting the best talent and fragmented value chains, consolidated into regional transformation portfolios.

These guide the design of systemic levers: integrated mixes of financial, behavioral, and institutional incentives, enabling technologies and infrastructures, and foresight-driven skills pathways. Skills are explicitly treated as systemic incentives. A two-stage foresight cycle maps current (AS-IS) competences and anticipates future (TO-BE) roles, benchmarked against labor-market dynamics. The results inform tailored curricula, micro-credentials, and challenge-based pathways institutionalized via the SHIFT Academy and regional Learning Labs.

Mission-oriented sandboxes serve as controlled environments where systemic levers are tested and refined. Nearly €1 million in cascade funding empowers up to 12 SME-led pilots to validate incentive mixes, apply enabling technologies, and demonstrate organizational and behavioral change under real-world conditions. SHIFT 5.0’s distinct value lies in its evidence-to-policy engine: pilot results are consolidated into FAIR datasets, a Comparative Learning Framework, an AI-enabled Policy Decision-Support System, a Digital Knowledge Hub, and regional/EU policy roadmaps.
