On October 13, 2020, the FACTORY 4.0 exhibition took place in a hybrid format, with the first 3D Augmented Reality exhibition in Romania attended by 15 international experts, opinion leaders, representatives of government institutions and employers' organizations, along with 1000 participants.

OIR POSDRU Bucharest-Ilfov was represented at this conference by Alexandra Carcu and Florentina Soare, implementation coordinator and public administration expert within the 40Ready project.

The FACTORY 4.0 conference completes the series of 25 workshops, in which the partners of this initiative, technology companies and professional organizations, offer support to the employees of industrial companies in the digitization process.

By organizing this event we wanted to send a message of support to all those interested in digitalization, to keep open a communication channel and show that the partners of this initiative can implement systems adapted to the new health, social and economic conditions to ensure continuity. We proved that we can make an exhibition with Augmented Reality 3D in a short time and we can mix a conference with physical and online presence.  Marius Hărătău, CEO FACTORY 4.0
