In times of the corona pandemic, nothing is for sure. While good news is overshadowed by bad news, initial hope quickly swings back into helplessness. Dr. Miriam Leis, Think Tank Manager at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft analyzes the situation and points out innovation potentials for foundries.
As a cooperation project between NürnbergMesse and Vogel Communications Group, SPOTLIGHTMETAL is organizing the German-speaking event "Forum Gießerei-Industrie" in Würzburg (Germany) for the first time on June 14 and 15, 2021. The aim of the event is to give the industry "impetus from the crisis".
