In spring 2021, with the arrival of ViennaUP´21, a new kind of startup event, Vienna will find itself at the centre of the international startup scene. Over 40 local and international partners will assemble for events with a wide variety of focuses From April 27th to May 12th 2021, the whole city of Vienna will live and breathe ViennaUP21 - the biggest startup-event ever held in Austria. Get ready!

This webinar will present the case study of an automated production line of textile composites for aeronautical applications. Composites for aeronautical applications have been developed for several decades and their implementation has been largely mastered. It is wide-body aircraft, performance-oriented programs that have led to an increase in the use of composites in aero-structures. Thus, the designs, processes and means of implementation developed correspond to this field of application. The state of the art in the manufacture of composite structures cannot be transposed in this as-is state to production rates of 5 or 6 times higher. IRT project evaluates the ability of textile technologies to meet high production rates of the aeronautics industry for large scale parts and complex geometry. Agenda: Day: April 30th 2021 Schedule:  11 am to 11.45 am CET 5 min intro and welcome by EMC2 25 min “The Wing project – automated production line of textile composites for aeronautical application”” by Marie Weiss (IRT Jules Verne) and Guy Caverot (IRT Jules Verne) 15 min Q&A Speakers Marie Weiss, Head of Europe Unit (IRT Jules Verne) Guy Caverot, Innovation & technology transfer expert (IRT Jules Verne)
