For nearly three decades, the International Dresden Lightweight Construction Symposium has served as a central platform for interdisciplinary dialogue between academia, industry, and government. In keeping with this tradition, the 29th edition directly links excellent basic research with practical applications in key industries – from automotive engineering to the energy sector.
Inspired by this year’s partner region in the Baltic Sea area, the concept of a modern “Technology Hanse” is taken up. Unlike pure commodity trade, however, the Technology Hanse is much more about building specialized value-added networks. Digitalization and secure data spaces are necessary tools in this context, but the foundation of the alliance remains engineering excellence: The ability to realize highly complex physical products through cross-material collaboration – products that would not be possible for any individual to create alone.
Our CU Ost cluster is on-site as a partner in the exhibition. CU members can register at the early-bird price even after April 30, 2026. Please contact Thomas.Heber@composites-united.com to request the corresponding discount code.
