A center for training and digital transformation

Founded in 2011 as an experiential training center

The aim was to provide manufacturing and service companies with the necessary skills to achieve operational excellence and successfully implement digital transformation through an effective combination of scientific approach and practical experience.

Over the years, LEF has established itself as the world’s largest and most integrated digital model company, becoming a leading competence center for human capital development and a member of several international networks in the fields of Industry 4.0, digital innovation and lean.

Human capital and continuous improvement are keywords of LEF’s philosophy, which has the ambition through its various activities and projects to instil in companies (first and foremost in people) an awareness of the potential of each individual and to strengthen the capacity and propensity for continuous improvement.
