🚀 From Charleroi to the Future: Advancing SurfConInspect 🌟 Reflecting on our recent meeting in #Charleroi, we are thrilled by the tangible progress and the dynamic collaboration within the SurfConInspect project. This gathering wasn’t just about checking boxes it was about #innovation in #action: 🎯 Deliverables in focus: From improving defect detection methods to enhancing training data through GANs, we’re leveraging cutting-edge technologies to achieve zero-defect steel production. 🔬 Innovative trials: Promising results from SZFG’s new water channel sensor are paving the way for more reliable defect analysis in industrial applications. 🤝 Stronger #partnerships: The alignment between teams ensures our deliverables, like D3.2 and D3.3, are on track to redefine #manufacturing standards. What excites us the most is the shared energy and expertise driving this project forward. Together, we’re not only solving today’s challenges but shaping the sustainable steel production of tomorrow. 📆 The roadmap ahead includes ambitious next steps like exploring laser-based visualisation tools and scaling quality models for industrial use cases. We are confident this team will continue to exceed expectations. 🌍 Let’s keep building a sustainable future one milestone at a time. #innovation #cuttingedge #future #collaboration #manufacturing #zerodefect

A look at what was revealed in #Remini to change the future of the #construction_industry #Tekna_2024 - a bright future for the #ceramic, brick and #sanitary porcelain #design and production industry • Introduction Tekna International Exhibition, with the theme of presenting technologies and industrial machinery of production lines, which was recently held in Rimini, Italy, once again established its position as a leading event in the world by introducing optimal technologies in energy consumption, development paths and holding targeted business meetings. This organized event, with the presence of more than 350 exhibiting brands and visitors from more than 100 countries, marked an impressive gathering. • Focus on innovation and sustainability One of the main axes of the important event was to focus on innovation and sustainability in the industry of design, production and development of products. The participants drew a different vision of this industry by presenting forward-looking solutions in areas such as artificial intelligence, digitization, energy saving and sustainability in production. Among these innovations, we can mention furnaces with alternative energy sources, advanced and automatic production lines with optimal pollutants and applications for smart decoration. • The importance of collaborations international  Tekna once again showed the importance of international cooperation in the surface industry. More than 1,600 business meetings were held with buyers from 36 countries, which provided opportunities for cooperation and joint ventures. In the meantime, the African continent, with the strong presence of representatives from different countries, once again raised the growing importance of this global market in international forums.  • Side events and conferences  In addition to the main exhibition, various side events were also held on the sidelines of this course. The opening conference provided valuable insights about the geopolitical dynamics affecting the exports of Italian companies with the analysis of experts. On the other hand, the Decortech conference attracted a lot of attention by focusing on technologies and creativity in #decoration_design.  • A bright future not so far away  This event, focusing on education, showed a bright view of the not-so-distant years. The presence of students from various technical institutions and the holding of events with the theme of "Green jobs and skills" is a proof of the importance of investing in specialized and skilled human resources for future generations.  • Conclusion  Tekna 2024 has taken an important step towards sustainable development in this industry by presenting the latest technological achievements, creating opportunities for international communication and focusing on learning skills, which is a precursor to a huge transformation in our world.

With 15 pioneering Dutch companies, we dove deep into the opportunities within Northern Europe’s bustling construction and real estate sectors. Nordbygg is the largest and most dynamic meeting place for the construction and real estate industry in Northern Europe. Alongside 15 Dutch companies and our collaborating partners, we organized an exciting program to explore business opportunities in the Nordics. Highlights from our participants: 🎯“This trade mission was not only an opportunity for Dutch companies to expand their network, but also a platform to gain invaluable insights into the Nordic market.” 🤝 “The proactive engagement of our participants and the collaborative spirit fostered throughout the event contributed significantly to the overall success.” 🚀 “Nordbygg was an amazing experience, in which the companies on the Dutch Pavilion got a clear insight on where they should look for an entry in the Swedish market and whom to contact.” On average, companies acquired eight leads from which they anticipate concrete follow-up. 87% of participants expect to sign a contract as a result of their participation. 🔍 Read the recap article: https://lnkd.in/easrpsUT This mission was a collaborative effort organized by the Dutch Embassies in the Nordics, InnovationQuarter, the Regional Business Development Team for the Baltics and Nordics, Amsterdam Trade & Innovate and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency , aiming to fortify our position in sustainable building technologies and energy systems. 📅 Stay connected: don’t miss out on what we have planned next in the Nordics.

The first DeCo Round Table discussion took place today! The topic was sustainable design for business and it was introduced by Jussi Korhonen from Arctic Factory | Palvelumuotoilu. We discussed the challenges, cooperation and opportunities there are in sustainable business around Europe. We noticed that there are similar problems as well as opportunities for change everywhere. The most important takeaway: We are not alone in this. Cooperation, discussion and sharing can make all the difference. This is a good start.   DeCo – Design Collaboration for Sustainable Business – is an Interreg Europe project which aims at improving local, regional and national development policies in sustainable and circular design, production and manufacturing. This is achieved through the exchange of experience, innovative approaches and capacity building.   Lead Prtner: LAB University of Applied Sciences Project partners: Päijät-Hämeen liitto, Public Institution for the Development of the Međimurje County REDEA, Regional Development Fund of Central Macedonia, International Hellenic University, The Official Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Services and Navigation of Spain, Podkarpackie Centrum Innowacji, Moravian-Silesian Innovation Centre Ostrava, Wallonie Design, Design Forum Finland   #interregeurope #designcollaboration

Bengt Magnussen, Commercial Director of TALO spoke at the International Offsite Summit this week, which was co-hosted by BUILDOFFSITE. The session examined successful international models for delivering new housing and how this insight can be applied to the UK. With TALO’s Nordic heritage, Bengt shared lessons from Finland and looked at why around 70% of all new homes there are manufactured offsite. Some key takeaways: 🏘 In Finland, the main driver for offsite is the extreme climate. 🏘 With temperatures as low as -50°, there is a clear need for exceptional thermal efficiency and to reduce work on site in the extreme cold. 🏘 This contrasts with drivers for MMC in the UK which are the challenges facing construction – skills shortages, lack of productivity, substandard quality, and rising demand for new housing. 🏘 There is no mass housing in Finland. 🏘 The majority of new homes there are developed privately. This drives high quality, design flexibility and cost efficiency. These are not constraints for offsite in Finland! 🏘 Dry timber processes from forest, sawmill and factory to site ensure timber superstructures are watertight and airtight – which eliminates snagging. With thanks to the session Chair, Andrew Pryke and the other speakers - Ewelina Wozniak-Szpakiewicz, PhD, Pascal Chazal, Damien Crough, Professor Wei PAN and Sherman Yip. An absolutely brilliant session. 👏 Offsite Expo | BUILDOFFSITE | Offsite Construction Week #mmc #offsite #housing #socialhousing #housebuilding #localauthorities
