LEARNING EXPEDITION – PORTO
PRODUTECH, the Portuguese production technologies cluster, is an articulated network of manufacturing technology providers capable of responding to both competitiveness and sustainability challenges and to the overall manufacturing industry’s requirements with innovative, flexible, integrated and competitive solutions.
The objective of this GALACTICA learning expedition is to present interesting cross-sectoral innovations connecting advanced production technologies, textiles and aerospace entities.
On the first day, 4 visits to technological centres and institutes that work actively in technology transfer to industry are previewed: CITEVE (Technological Centre for Textile & Clothing), CENTI (Centre for Nanotechnologies and Smart Materials), INEGI – (Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering) and INESC TEC | iiLAB – Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science | Industry and innovation lab.
On the second day you’ll be able to participate in the GALACTICA WS as side event of PRODUTECH FORUM at EMAF, an inspiring cross-sectoral fertilization seminar with active participation of the attendees. You’ll have the rest of the day to visit EMAF (+INFO) – the international fair of machines, equipment and services for the industry where you can meet with our members that are exhibiting and much more.
Looking forward to welcome you all in Portugal!
