EIT Manufacturing has launched the Teaching Factories Competition 2025, a challenge that invites companies in the manufacturing sector to submit industrial problems to be solved by teams of higher education and vocational training students. The initiative aims to foster innovation and strengthen collaboration between academia and industry, promoting creative solutions to real challenges.

Eligible companies, public or private, established in the European Union or in countries associated with Horizon Europe, can submit up to three challenges. Proposals must be aligned with the themes of Advanced Manufacturing, Green and Sustainable Manufacturing, or Digital Transformation in Manufacturing.
