Manufacturing is currently undergoing a revolution. Thanks to a new level of linkage between computers, data, and things we are seeing radical changes and innovations in how things are made. These developments are critical to the Swiss industry.
The program of the Strategic Focus Area (SFA) Advanced Manufacturing aims to enable Switzerland’s scientific and technical community to contribute at the most advanced level to these developments. It is to drive the institutions of the ETH Domain to team up, collaborate in exploratory research projects, and build the knowledge and infrastructure to position Switzerland as a leader in this domain. |
