Trade fairs, conferences and events

The 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion is a meeting place for photovoltaic experts from all over the world and addresses the entire spectrum of the photovoltaic industry, focusing on the latest scientific and technological research trends.

The WindEnergy Hamburg trade fair brings together politics, science and industry to address the entire supply chain of the wind industry at conferences and workshops. The Fraunhofer IST will be presenting the smart bolted connection project - a wireless and energy-autonomous monitoring solution - at a joint Fraunhofer booth.

At the 23rd International Conference on Advances in Materials & Processing Technologies, scientists and researchers from all over the world will meet to discuss and present research results and findings in the field of materials processing technologies. The conference will cover topics ranging from surface technology and molding processes to additive manufacturing.

The key themes of the 22nd K in Düsseldorf this year are: “Circular Economy“, “Digitalization“ and “Climate Protection“. The trade show aims to provide impulses for thought and stimulate a dialog in the plastics and rubber industry. The Fraunhofer IST is participating in a joint booth together with many other Fraunhofer institutes and will present topics such as additive manufacturing in combination with plasma technology.

The demand for electrochemical energy storage is steadily increasing. That is why this year's IBPC2022 will again deal with important, production-related topics such as recycling, circular economy and supply chains. The conference offers participants an international exchange and networking platform in the field of battery production.
