Frontline Workers, Generative AI, and Investment in Ecosystem take center stage at Davos 2025
Somerville, MA, 21 January 2025 - Tulip Interfaces, a global leader in frontline operations technology, is proud to announce its participation at the 2025 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland (January 20 -24, 2025). Demonstrating its commitment to human-centric innovation in manufacturing, Tulip’s Co-Founder and CEO, Natan Linder, will join global leaders to address the critical challenges and opportunities shaping today’s industries.
Global Manufacturing is at an Inflection Point
The rapid pace of digital transformation - driven by automation, AI, and evolving supply chain dynamics - requires that organizations adapt swiftly to remain competitive. This year’s Davos theme, “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,” closely aligns with Tulip’s mission to create a resilient, adaptable workforce capable of thriving in a rapidly changing world. Recently appointed co-chair of WEF’s Advanced Manufacturing Industry Governors Community, Linder will collaborate with Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation, to advance initiatives to leverage foundational technologies and open ecosystems to tackle urgent industry challenges.
Transform Global Manufacturing Workforce, Attract Tomorrow's Talent
Linder will participate in a panel discussion on Thursday, January 23, from 15:00 to 15:45 CET at the Congress Centre. Titled “Creating Tomorrow’s Industrial Talent Today,” the session will focus on addressing the global manufacturing and supply chain talent shortage. With 65% of companies identifying talent attraction and retention as their top challenge, panelists will explore innovative strategies for developing the skilled workforce needed to drive industrial transformation. Linder will share insights on how frontline workers can adapt to cloud computing, generative AI, automation, and data analytics.
Empowering Frontline Workers to Adapt to Rapid Change
In his recent World Economic Forum article, “Building and Securing the Manufacturing Workforce of the Future,” Linder emphasizes the importance of equipping frontline workers to succeed in a rapidly changing digital landscape. Tulip calls for worker-first approaches to technology that build trust and drive meaningful, lasting change.
Tulip’s dedicated site, “Tulip at Davos 2025: Shaping Industries in the Intelligent Age,” explores how technologies designed with workers’ needs in mind can enable smooth and sustainable transitions. Composable operations and open ecosystems rebuild trust by encouraging adaptability and collaboration. Advances in digital production systems create unified platforms accessible to everyone, delivering constantly updated, comprehensive data that spans the entire production network—from global operations to individual production lines. This real-time data provides a clear and holistic view of every level of activity, helping companies stay connected and efficient.
