Advanced Manufacturing in Wallonia

Explore the exciting future of advanced manufacturing in Wallonia at our event focused on the re-industrialisation of manufacturing sectors. Join us for this day full of innovations, ideal for manufacturers seeking cutting-edge solutions. Be inspired by the results of research projects, manufacturing testimonials, live demonstrations, …

Find out about the major advances in polymer and metal materials, which can now be processed by additive manufacturing, and are set to transform production and open up new applications. Immerse yourself in major industrial projects, through testimonials relating to digital transformation and be inspired by the use of Terahertz technology for the regulation of polymers. Attend live demonstrations on site.

Sirris will show the latest advances in the ERDF projects Exiatha/Tera4all and the perspectives on future developments via MadinWal with the transfer of research projects into training with Fab+.
