China 30.60

In our hybrid seminar, attended by more than 170 participants from different industries, industry experts outlined market opportunities and challenges for DACH companies and introduced practical approaches to transition towards greener energy sources. Renewable energy production and consumption, in particular solar PV and wind energy markets, are showing constant growth over the last decade, which is further accelerated by China’s 30.60 pledge.

Attendees gained valuable insights and best practice approaches. CRRC Voith, a Sino-German joint-venture which develops and produces wind turbine gearboxes, is a great example for innovative and digitized production processes. Markus Schlosser demonstrated how CRRC Voith optimized supply chains and reduced costs by implementing new tech­no­lo­gies.

Hu Caihong introduced Volkswagen Group’s “goTOzero” mission and the company’s approaches on decarbonization of production. Her presentation included suggestions on how to reduce carbon emissions for suppliers and SME manufacturers in China, and, in particular, explained what should be the basis of make-or-buy decisions when switching to renewables.
