1. A systemic approach to the companies’ energy component, providing an integrated overview of all consumption sources. 
2. An approach to the techniques and practices for the design and project of manufacturing systems in order to incorporate the requirements for the maximization of energy efficiency of productive systems, right at the design phase.

At the end of the workshop, there was a brokerage event that is open to every workshop participant. The aim with this brokerage event was to identify and discuss possible collaboration opportunities in these areas.
