Connecting Europe’s AM Hubs for Greater Collective Impact

In recent years, Europe has witnessed the emergence and consolidation of a diverse constellation of Additive Manufacturing hubs — each one driving innovation, accelerating adoption, and cultivating talent within its own national, regional, or sectorial context.

While some hubs have already made a strong national impact, others are rapidly evolving, investing significant efforts to reach similar milestones. Together, they form a dynamic but still fragmented landscape, rich in expertise yet limited in its collective reach.

"The next phase of European Additive Manufacturing will not be defined by individual excellence alone, but by the strength of its collaboration"

— David Adrover, President of Addliance®

From Strong Foundations to Collective Strength

Europe’s AM ecosystem is built on solid foundations. Across countries and industries, hubs have developed advanced capabilities, fostered industrial adoption, and supported innovation at multiple levels.

However, the moment has come to move beyond parallel growth. The opportunity now lies in interconnecting more deeply — uniting strengths to build a stronger and broader AM hubs network that enhances maturity, accelerates collaboration, and amplifies impact across both national and international levels.

Towards a New Collaborative Paradigm

The next phase of progress calls for a shift in mindset. One that builds upon existing achievements while embracing a more integrated and coordinated European approach.

This new paradigm goes beyond borders. It aligns shared ambitions, encourages knowledge exchange, and creates the conditions for a more structured and scalable collaboration model — one capable of expanding Europe’s global leadership in Additive Manufacturing.

Addliance®: Connecting Europe’s AM Ecosystem

Addliance® represents the shared vision and motivation of Europe’s AM hubs, organisations, and key ecosystem players. It is designed to interconnect capabilities, align efforts, and create a collaborative framework that empowers the entire ecosystem to grow stronger together.

By bringing together sector-specific, regional, national, and international perspectives, Addliance contributes to building a more cohesive and impactful European AM landscape — one that is better equipped to respond to global challenges, seize emerging opportunities, and shape the future of advanced manufacturing in Europe.
