Agoria and the other partners of the Interreg NWE COBRACOMP project are pleased to invite you to the “Green Mobility: Composite parts manufactured in Europe” event. This international event will take place at BluePoint Brussels on Tuesday 8th November in the afternoon.
The half day program will revolve around the use of automated production processes for composite structures that contribute to green mobility both on land as in the sky.
With confirmed speakers from CTC Airbus, GKN Fokker Landing Gear, Ebusco, The Belgian Cycling Factory, Collins aerospace, Eurocarbon, VDL Fibertech , it will be an opportunity to get inspired about how -and why- state of the art manufacturing techniques are being used in these fields, but also to meet and interact with an international community of both market and supply.
