The two days will offer plenty of opportunities and impulses for knowledge exchange and will include extensive time for networking. Of course, the program will again include technology and market impulses, deep insights and discussion opportunities for our joint workgroups and projects.
You can already apply for a speed dating slot to present your companies news/projects/activities or collaboration ideas to the AZL network in a 6-minute presentation. Just drop Alexander Knauff a mail and you will be included in the application process.
