NEXT IN GLASS – glass technology live: The innovation show with a view to future glass applications
The innovation show glass technology live (gtl) will again be organised by the university network consisting of the four Technical Universities of Darmstadt, Delft, Dortmund and Dresden. Students will amaze visitors with their mock-ups and innovative glass structures. glass technology live videos provide exclusive insights and details about glass technology live.
The videos will be available on the glass technology live-Website and the glasstec social media channels. All exhibits at glass technology live also pick up at least one of the global trend topics of glasstec 2022.
The highly topical cross-industry themes climate protection and resource savings will also be the focus of the concurrently held Expo for Decarbonised Industries > ENERGY STORAGE. It will cover a wide range of products and services for climate-friendly, safe and efficient energy supply in companies.
