Last week, Controlar organized the first Innovating Industry Forum (I2F)<\/b> at Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Ant\u00f3nio Cupertino de Miranda, in Porto. This is a closed and biannual initiative aimed at the company\u2019s stakeholders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event, which brought together people from all over the world, was an enormous success: an extraordinary edition by the number of participants \u2013 more than 120 attendees from several countries, representing a wide array of companies, institutions, research centers and universities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The aim of I2F<\/b> is to stimulate discussion and debate on the latest advances in innovation and successful innovation policies in the industry, allowing participants to cooperate and promote the transfer of knowledge in a relaxed and pleasant environment.<\/p>\n

The theme of this year’s edition was \u201cSustainable Engineering<\/b>\u201d based on the relevance of this theme in today’s society and in the business world.<\/p>\n

The Forum was opened by Pedro Torres, CEO of Controlar. It was a worthwhile opportunity to watch the compelling presentations from Bosch, APTIV, Visteon, Continental, Caetano Bus, Controlar, FESTO, Keysight<\/b> and Rohde&Schwarz<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Our high-level speakers shed light on topics ranging from autonomous driving, connectivity, AI, to green mobility and sustainable innovation, sharing their vision and current trends while underlining their road to sustainability.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”]

In addition, I2F<\/b> was also sponsored by some of the biggest worldwide suppliers of automation, and test & measurement equipment, namely Keysight, Rohde&Schwarz, FESTO, EPL, Anritsu, Tektronix, Ingun, DSPace and AVL<\/b>, which had the opportunity to exhibit the latest products and solutions from their portfolio at I2F technical exhibition.<\/p>\n

Outside premises, Toyota Mirai<\/b>, the first fuel cell hydrogen car to be sold in Portugal and one of the few examples at national level, was in display.<\/p>\n

The closing session was taken by Fernando Leite Controlar, Global Business Manager <\/b>and one of its founders, together with representatives of Mobinov, Produtech,<\/b> and AEP (Portuguese Business Association)<\/b>, <\/b>who congratulated the associated entities for a productive forum. All of them recognized the importance of such initiatives for bringing together competitive companies to present their innovations and challenges and discuss Sustainable engineering in a cooperative way.<\/p>\n

In the words of Paulo Vaz (AEP): \u201cSustainability has become increasingly important with the huge demand for environmental -friendly solutions. (\u2026) We can define sustainable engineering<\/b> as the process of using resources in a way that does not compromise environment or resources for future generations. This implies working together. (\u2026)\u00a0 <\/span>No matter the applications, it has one single purpose: to apply the principles of engineering and design in such a way that forces positive social and economic development while minimizing environmental impacts.”<\/p>\n

We cannot wait for the next edition of\u00a0I2F<\/b>.<\/p>\n
