"With this event, we want to provide an impetus for the Transfer of Knowledge and Technology between research and industry. The event framework offers an excellent opportunity to exchange expertise and expand the network."
The Lusatia economic region (WRL) has been secured as a cooperation partner for the event. Manager Heiko Jahn says: "Lightweight construction research is crucial for structural change in Lusatia, as it funds sustainable innovations, creates jobs and showcases internationally how much drive there is in Lusatia. The region has already established itself as a pioneer in this innovative technology, which is crucial for future-oriented development given the growing importance of energy and resource efficiency. This not only strengthens the local economy, but also positions Lusatia nationally and internationally as a major player in the field of sustainable lightweight construction technologies."
