The past three days demonstrated the value of gathering together to network and share knowledge, which was very welcome after several years of absence. The top leaders from the industry convened at Rotterdam Ahoy to discuss the challenges facing the industry, with a recurring theme being the importance of collaboration and the human factor. Mattias Arstadius, Sales Director EMEA SKF, summed this up brilliantly in his keynote speech, stating that "The main take-away from my presentation is how to cooperate and collaborate, because when you do that you really unleash the true potential." Ewout Noordermeer, CMO IFS, also emphasized the power of teamwork, stating that "Of course technology is an enabler, but it is all about the people and how to support them." 

Lastly, we would like to extend our best wishes to Italy who takes over the organization from the NVDO, Nederlandse Vereniging voor Doelmatig Onderhoud. The next edition of EuroMaintenance will be held in Rimini from September 16th to 18th, 2024. We hope to see you all there and thank you for joining us in Rotterdam!
