About

Giacomo Copani is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, with a particular focus on the strategic development of Factories of the Future and mission-oriented innovation policies. His work centers on identifying and prioritizing the scientific and technological challenges that will define next-generation production systems. In his highly regarded chapter, "Key Research Priorities for Factories of the Future—Part I: Missions" (2019, 14 citations), Copani proposes a framework that aligns ambitious manufacturing research with pressing societal problems, arguing that missions must be both scientifically demanding and socially relevant. This contribution has helped shape European research agendas by providing a structured approach to innovation that bridges industrial competitiveness and public value. Copani’s insights are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in how policy can drive technological breakthroughs in manufacturing, making his work a key reference for those exploring the intersection of industrial strategy, sustainability, and innovation management.
