The project partners of the HYPEREGIO Innovation2Market project kindly invite you for the Smart Logistics Partner matching.
The logistics industry benefits immensely from the latest technology and will continue to grow as more advances are made. On one hand this is a major challenge, on the other hand it offers plenty of opportunities. Improved technology has increased productivity in the supply chain, minimizing costs and errors.
Where do you start this digital transformation? And who are the companies that can assist in taking the first or next steps?
As part of the Interreg HYPEREGIO programne “Innovation2Market”, LIOF, Basse-Meuse Développement (Belgium) and Kreis Euskirchen (Germany) organize a special matchmaking event on this theme. You will be informed about which chances there are for your company: Dutch, German and Belgian companies will share their knowledge with you. During the event we will try to match the demand with the offering, the problem with a solution and this in a cross-border way of cooperation.
Programme
Soon we will inform you about the exact program: expect an interesting key note combined with short pitches of companies that are active in this field.
Location
Gouvernement (Provincie Limburg)
Limburglaan 10
36229 GA Maastricht
The location of the event is very fitting to the cross border nature of the event: at the beautiful Statenzaal of the Gouvernement aan de Maas in Maastricht the ‘Treaty on European Union’ was signed in 1992.
Registration
Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory.
Please use the online registration form.
The growing impact of lightweight materials and design in the automotive industry is undisputed. Global trends go towards resource efficiency and environmental friendliness. Material savings, reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are key to success.
At our event, you will get to know entrepreneurs, SMEs and institutes in our cross-border HYPEREGIO, the traditional home of the RWTH Aachen University and its clusters for lightweight and production technologies or more recently, e.GO and StreetScooter.
We support you in finding your right cooperation partner for your projects in this dynamic and future-oriented market. We are looking at the complete value chain, from the raw material producer to OEMs and services. Keynote speeches inform about market trends, future orientations, speed dating and matchmaking services allow to work on your synergies.
