Digital transformation is not an end but a process and waiting for the final result is a bad move. Embracing digital technologies starts from designing the processes, understanding the important information and the data useful to generate them. Indeed, the Data Driven Company is the final goal and in a data driven environment different optimization possibilities (cost, energy consumption, reduction of losses or reuse of waste materials) can be better studied, understood and achieved. Agenda: Day: April 20th 2021 Schedule:  5.30 pm – 6.15 pm CEST (Brussels time)   5 min intro and welcome by NTT 25 min “Advanced manufacturing technologies for improving textile product environmental and social sustainability. Towards the smart Industry: digital transformation not only through technologies” by M. Prof. Gualtiero Fantoni (University of Pisa) 15 min Q&A   Speaker  Prof. Gualtiero Fantoni (University of Pisa)

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 training is a great opportunity to fully immerse into the Venture Philanthropy and Social Investment space. Participants not only learn the basics of investing for impact but also how to set-up an impact strategy according to the Venture Philanthropy approach. The course has been developed together with ESADE business school and includes speakers like Lisa Hehenberger, Director of ESADE Entrepreneurship Institute and Fabio Segura, Co-CEO at Jacobs Foundation.

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)
