Our eyes will be on how smart glass will fit in the smart city environment and on the challenges the industry faces today regarding the ever-changing city planning demands.
– Education is a powerful tool as we work to bring added advantages to our customers and their customers, and the GPD Conference has a strong educational mission. Knowledge grows when knowledge is shared, says Jorma Vitkala, Chairman of the Organizing Committee.
The GPD concept covers the whole supply chain of glass, from raw materials to applications, from design and research to product and process development. This is to ensure maximum value for investments and continued customer satisfaction throughout the whole supply chain. The GPD Conference shapes the future of glass.
– We have built a powerful global network of glass professionals over the years, linking up to promote business by working together and sharing information. It is crucial that we, who shape the future of glass, know what is available, what is technically, economically and environmentally possible, and how our knowhow can be extended over new boundaries, Vitkala says.
