ELA - European Lightweight Association

Erfolgreiche Produkt- und Prozessinnovationen im #Leichtbau erfordern die Zusammenarbeit über Landesgrenzen hinweg. Lassen Sie sich am 16. April 2024 am Hightech Zentrum Aargau AG in Brugg/CH von den Verantwortlichen der Förderprogramme in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz aus erster Hand informieren, wo aktuell die besten Chancen für Unternehmen und Forschende mit europäischen Leichbauprojekten liegen! Beginnend mit der Keynote von Hein Koelman (SAM XL) zu «Next Generation Automated Manufacturing of Thermoplastic #Composites» zeigen wir inspirierende Leichtbau-Innovationen aus #Automation, neuen metallischen oder Verbundwerkstoffen, #Verbindungstechnik, zerstörungsfreier Prüfung und #Nachhaltigkeit. Sie sind Teil der Leichtbau-Community und planen ein Projekt?

⚡ Yesterday, October 22, 2024, the #DeremCo General Assembly started in Brussels, at the Lombardy Region Delegation premises. 🔎 Project partners took the opportunity to present key progress and discuss the next steps, focusing also on the two #pilot #strategies essential to the project. These strategies, mechanical demanufacturing and hybrid reprocessing and thermo-chemical demanufacturing and textile reprocessing, aim to maximize the recycling and reuse of end-of-life #compositematerials across multiple sectors. Don't miss out on more updates from the #DeremCo meeting! #DeremCo #I3Instrument #EISMEA #circulareconomy #composites #additivemanufacturing

Thank you, AMULET H2020, for inviting us to your final event and congratulations to your achievements which you made in your project. 🎉 During our presentation we stated not only the economic importance of the lightweighting sector but also the importance of European collaboration. Therefore, we also presented DeremCo as a perfect example for a project of the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) under the #I3 program. During the panel discussions, also the key role of clusters as drivers of innovation among SMEs was highlighted. 🌎 Networks like ELA and ELCA European Lightweight Cluster Alliance not only provide a supportive ecosystem, but also host innovative companies, form strategic alliances, and direct business support services.

This week the final event of the project AMULET H2020 (Advanced Materials & manufacturing United for LightwEighT) will take place in Krakow, Poland, during the KOMPOZYT-EXPO®.   AMULET aims to exploit the innovation potential of SMEs through a cross-sectoral, funded knowledge exchange. The goal of AMULET is to create new value chains by fostering the penetration of advanced lightweight materials in different fields through cross-regional and cross-sectoral knowledge exchange in the four sectors: 🚗 automotive, ✈️ aerospace & aeronautics, 💡energy & 🧱 building.   Together with our colleagues from ELCA European Lightweight Cluster Alliance & A2LT - Austrian Advanced Lightweight Technology will participate in the panel discussion “Advanced materials for lightweight in the future European industrial landscape”.   Will we meet there? 📅📌 #ela #lightweight #innovation #amuleth2020
