Expertise from Academia and Industry

The Global GIGA-Casting Congress aims to facilitate a well-founded and practical exchange on current technological developments. To ensure the highest level of content quality, our Program Committee oversees the organization of the program and the selection of presentations.

The GGC Program Committee consists of experienced representatives from academia, the automotive and supplier industries, as well as proven experts in modern foundry processes. Together, they ensure that the congress program provides a well-founded and forward-looking overview of the key challenges and potential of Giga-Casting.
