In the basis of in-depth conversations with experts from all stages of the value chain , five global trend themes were identified . They are considered essential for the future development of the glass industry as well as for our society as a whole . These are :
• Climate ( emission reduction and renewable energies )
• Urbanisation ( future-proof architecture with glass )
• Value ( sustainable value chain )
• Resources ( efficient and sustainable use of resources )
• and Wellbeing ( improved quality of life through glass )
“ These mega trends will be in focus in the conference rooms , at the special show areas as well as at exhibitors ’ stands . This means we will provide the glass industry with a unique spectrum of innovative future solutions and information as well as the opportunity to expand their personal network in the global world of glass ,” says Birgit Horn , Project Director of glasstec .
