The discussions within the industry over the past two years have shown that the glass industry is on the move and must face up to global challenges in order to remain sustainably marketable in the future. These challenges are:

Climate protection - How can the glass industry reduce emissions and contribute to decarbonization? What legal requirements will the industry have to adapt to? What alternative energy concepts are available?

Resource efficiency - What measures need to be taken to make the best use of resources (skilled) personnel, materials and energy?

Urbanization - How can products made of glass help meet the construction, communication and mobility needs of a growing population in metropolitan areas?

Value creation - What changes does the glass industry need as it moves from a purely profit to a people orientation and ultimately to sustainable and resilient value generation?

Wellbeing - What contribution can glass products make to enhancing the quality of life in terms of safety, comfort, daylighting, and overall human comfort?

Dealing with these fields of action affects all areas of the glass world: glass production, glass processing and finishing, and glass products and applications. That is why we are again calling on you as an exhibitor at glasstec 2022 to participate in the central discussion with a speech: How can glass contribute sustainably to mastering these future challenges?

Is your company already involved in these areas? How is your company preparing for the future situation or which products are aimed at solving these challenges and expectations? At the glasstec conference with its open lecture stage you have the opportunity to present your solutions and developments.

Send us your proposal if your contribution addresses at least two of the above challenges. At www.glasstec.de/call_2 you can submit your topic until 31 March 2022. At the link above you will also find detailed information on the focus topics and the conditions of participation. A jury of experts will select the most exciting and innovative contributions.

We look forward to your contribution
