Dear PV Colleagues and Friends,
Dear PV Colleagues and Friends,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the GWPVtech Workshop, taking place on October 7th and 8th in the vibrant city of Bengaluru, India. This workshop represents a significant milestone in our collective journey towards advancing the global photovoltaic (PV) industry, particularly in a region where PV production is rapidly gaining momentum.
India stands at the cusp of a solar revolution. The country’s PV production capacity is on a robust upswing, and with it comes the critical need for high-quality production processes that are not only efficient but also sustainable. The Indian market’s growth potential is immense, but to fully realize this potential, it is essential that the industry is supported by cutting-edge technology, innovative machinery, and strong scientific research.
This is where the GWPVtech Workshop plays a pivotal role. Our aim is to bring together the PV-producing industry in India with leading European machine builders, as well as top researchers and scientists from universities and institutes across the globe. By fostering this collaboration, we can ensure that the Indian PV industry not only grows but thrives on a foundation of quality, innovation, and scientific excellence.
The synergies that emerge from this workshop will be vital in shaping the future of PV production in India. By combining the expertise of European technology providers with the insights and knowledge from academia, we can create a powerful ecosystem that supports the development of high-quality PV products tailored to the specific needs of the Indian market.
I encourage all participants to engage actively, share your experiences, and collaborate openly. Together, we can contribute to the success of the Indian PV industry, ensuring that it is built on a bedrock of quality and supported by the best scientific minds.
We look forward to the insightful discussions and productive exchanges that this workshop will undoubtedly foster. Let us work together to shape a brighter, more sustainable future for PV production in India and beyond.
