Fraunhofer Symposium "2nd Green Technology made in Germany - Lightweight Design"
Date & Time: November 18th 2013 (Mon) 10:00 - 17:20
Venue: Tokyo International Forum
Participation free of charge, pre-resistration required.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
»Green Technology made in Germany« is an exciting event initiative of Fraunhofer in Japan. The event is held every two years, showcasing cutting edge technologies, innovation and solutions with sustainable approaches.
This year’s symposium focuses on »lightweight design«. As an ongoing industrial shift towards efficient use of energy and resources needs not only the design of single technical lightweight components, Fraunhofer experts will present a whole lightweight concept that comprises materials, processes, production, quality management and material cycle/recycling.
In the afternoon, Fraunhofer will solemnly present the winners of »GHTC® – the German High Tech Champions Award«. This nationwide competition put forth six innovative technologies and their German developers. During the subsequent Coffee Break, guests will have the exclusive opportunity to discuss these innovations with the Champions at the GHTC® Business Networking.
