## The Global Lighthouse Network identifies and awards the most advanced operational sites in the world

Technology-driven industrial transformation has the potential to greatly improve performance in financial, operational and sustainability metrics of manufacturing and supply chain sites. However, the majority of organisations in these industries are struggling to unlock this potential upside through scaling technology adoption throughout their operations. The Global Lighthouse Network awards and showcases the leaders in the field of technology-driven industrial transformation and provides a neutral platform for these leaders to share their insights and learnings to help the whole ecosystem reach the next level of transformation.
