Transatlantic Program - Young Technology Leaders: Sustainable Manufacturing

The German American Chamber of Commerce is now organizing the sixth Transatlantic Program - Young Technology Leaders delegation focused on "Sustainable Manufacturing”. TAP-YTL will offer up to 12 select participants the chance to explore sustainability innovations and solutions in manufacturing during an intensive, 8-day trip throughout Germany. The program will take place June 9 - 17, 2013.

The German manufacturing industry is characterized by strong, high-value technologies and the skillful adaptation of cutting-edge technologies that have proved very successful in the global economy over the last few years and placed Germany as the world’s export leader in the Machine and Equipment trade. Despite facing high energy and resource costs, Germany remains a manufacturing powerhouse by consistently setting the benchmark for energy efficiency and the development of “green” plants. 

Program participants will gain first-hand insight into German innovation strategies and solutions to current manufacturing challenges. They’ll learn from industry experts as they expand on such topics as waste resource management, production in high-wage countries, and life cycle optimization in an exciting variety of industries that reflect Germany’s highly diversified industrial base.
