Lightweight construction as a key technology is of immense importance in our world and is transforming it in many ways. The use of lightweight materials, innovative construction techniques and manufacturing technologies can increase energy and resource efficiency and thus make an active contribution to climate protection. Germany is a pioneer in this area and is continuously investing in new technologies.

In addition, the German government supports companies in exploiting the potential of lightweight construction. The areas of application are diverse: from the automotive industry to mechanical engineering, aerospace and the energy industry. In combination with digitalization and bionics, new future markets are also opening up. The associated added value offers great opportunities for a sustainable future and positive transformation of our world, both economically and ecologically.

The 5th Lightweighting Summit of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) will open on April 23, 2024 at 2:00 pm in Hall 19/20, Room New York and is dedicated to the topic of lightweight construction as a transformation technology for the resource turnaround with several top-class keynotes, a diverse panel discussion and a subsequent pitch format of innovative research projects. Become part of the lightweight construction initiative for a sustainable and innovative future at the final get-together! You are welcome to register free of charge.
