April 2022

The 26th edition of the International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, EuroBLECH 2022, will take place from 25 - 28 October 2022 in Hanover, Germany. Following the latest easing of Covid restrictions, show organiser Mack-Brooks Exhibitions has confirmed that the world’s largest trade event for sheet metal processing will go ahead as planned. Demand for stand space has surged, and the current exhibitor list stands at 1,257 companies from 39 nations, covering a total net exhibition space of over 88,000 square metres. For the first time, EuroBLECH will feature a ninth exhibition hall focusing on joining technology, one of the significant growth markets in the e-mobility and general industrial sectors. 

After a compulsory break, EuroBLECH 2022 marks the long-awaited comeback of face-to-face marketing and personal business meetings. Starting this October, the show will also resume its usual biennial event cycle. 

“There is a genuine sense of relief and excitement within the industry – it’s been four years since our last live show so EuroBLECH 2022 is widely perceived as a much-needed technological update for the entire sheet metal processing sector”, says Evelyn Warwick, Event Director of EuroBLECH, on behalf of the organiser Mack-Brooks Exhibitions. “EuroBLECH has always been the industry’s key marketplace where everything and everyone comes together, and this year’s edition provides a particularly important booster to kick-start or renew business growth.”

Nine exhibition halls to promote technological excellence

EuroBLECH 2022 will be occupying halls 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 26 and 27 at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds, the world’s largest exhibition centre. The newly added hall 26 will focus on joining technology and also host exhibitors of surface and tool technology who had previously been located in hall 13.

Exhibits cover the entire sheet metal working technology chain in the manufacturing of metal prototypes, industrial components and consumer parts. This includes machines, tools and IT solutions for cutting, punching and forming, joining, welding and fastening, surface treatment and finishing, process control and quality assurance, machine elements and components, CAD/CAM/CIM systems, warehouse and factory equipment, material recycling, and other solutions to process metal sheet, tubes, profiles, plastic hybrids and other structures. 

EuroBLECH exhibitors come from around the globe and range from innovative start-ups and SMEs to big internationals. This year’s top exhibiting countries are Germany, Italy, Turkey, Switzerland, China, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Poland and France.

Engaging live exhibits and technological world premieres

As always, visitors can expect an impressive amount of live machine demonstrations and technological world premieres. There will be plenty of opportunities to watch innovative machinery in action, allowing attendees to assess and discuss potential benefits for their own production process. 

“We are really looking forward to the buzz and excitement on the show floor”, says Evelyn Warwick. “In the end, nothing beats human interaction: A face-to-face conversation, a live demonstration, a fist bump – all this is important to establish good relationships and build trust. We are delighted that EuroBLECH will once again provide a physical platform where tech buyers can meet and connect with world-leading suppliers and innovators in the industry.” 

Substantial need to invest in emerging technologies

Traditionally, EuroBLECH attracts a high percentage of visitors with decision-making and buying capacity. For 2022, tech budgets are expected to rise as companies begin to revive their plans to invest in emerging technology for a future-proof business. 

“There is a substantial need for manufacturers to align themselves to the complex and fluctuating demands of modern markets” explains Evelyn Warwick. “Many of our visitors will be looking for automated, digital and scalable solutions to facilitate the cost-efficient and sustainable production of industrial components and consumer parts. At EuroBLECH, they enjoy direct access to a broad spectrum of tech suppliers. This will allow them to explore and invest in the best tools, machines and materials for all their sheet metal processing needs.”

Attracting top industry professionals from all key industry sectors

The previous EuroBLECH 2018 attracted a total of 56,301 international trade visitors, including buyers, design engineers, production and quality managers, researchers and other technical experts from all management levels and business types.

Visitors come from all key industry sectors, including manufacturers of sheet metal parts, components and assemblies; ferrous and non-ferrous metal production and construction; automotive, aerospace and shipbuilding; mechanical engineering; building and construction; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; renewable energy construction; consumer electronics; telecommunication; precision, optics and medical equipment; food and packaging; and many more.

New Delhi, April 22, 2022: This Earth Day, setting unequivocal benchmarks in the electric vehicle segment, HOP Electric, India's fastest growing electric vehicle manufacturer, has added another achievement to its list of ground-breaking accolades. The brand has covered unparalleled geographical expansion in a span of less than one year, reaching up to 100+ experience centres across India. In terms of future prospects, HOP Electric Mobility is planning to expand its retail footprint in more than 300 cities by the end of 2022.

 

Speaking about this latest achievement, Mr. Ketan Mehta, Founder & CEO – HOP Electric Mobility said, "HOP Electric has once again proved its mettle. We are thrilled to become the fastest in the electric vehicle sphere to achieve this feat. Today, owing to the massively increasing internet penetration and conversations surrounding the benefits of electric vehicles, consumers have started making conscious decisions. And, what better way to move forward than taking an eco-friendly transportation approach?"

One can easily ride these scooters and cover a reasonable distance without burning a hole in their pocket. Plus, the scooters are designed to make both rider and pillion seats comfortable, even for long distances. We are now launching two new electric two-wheelers with high-end features that will give a smooth riding experience to consumers. Every day, we strive to reach our ultimate goal to offer bonafide products to our customers so that they can live a sustainable and environmentally friendly life." Mr. Mehta added.

Anne Hathaway and Roger Federer turned down – by Swiss nature.

 

 

Roger Federer is promoting the Grand Tour of Switzerland. The global brand ambassa­dor of Switzerland Tourism stars in the latest film of the tourism mar­keting organisation together with Oscar award winner Anne Hathaway. In this new film, however, Federer has to cope with an unpleasant surprise. He is told that no one is greater than the real star of the film, the Grand Tour of Switzerland, the best of Switzerland packed into an unbeatable road trip. The film is now being presen­ted online worldwide.

 

Switzerland Tourism caused a worldwide sensation a year ago with a film starring Roger Federer - flanked by Oscar award winner Robert De Niro. What remains in memory is that in the film, Federer's dream of a feature film about Switzerland, failed. The cancellation at the time came from De Niro himself, who felt Switzerland lacked "drama". The film was viewed well over 100 million times around the world and became one of the ten most successful commercials of 2021.

 

Anne Hathaway for Switzerland

Switzerland Tourism succeeded in signing up first-class star power for 2022. But Hollywood star and Oscar award winner Anne Hathaway can't help Federer either. It is said that the two of them travelled along the absolute highlights of the Grand Tour of Switzerland. And although the two had realised the filming dreamed of by the tennis star, they ended up barely being seen in the final edit, as the director had significantly minimized the ability for the viewers to see the two stars. Naturally, both stars are disappointed. This is the plot of the new promotional film.

 

No one upstages the Grand Tour of Switzerland

At the beginning of the film, the audience sees wonderful images of the Grand Tour of Switzerland. Breathtaking mountain passes, picturesque lakes, grandiose castles, and a powerful film score. But the epic images are abruptly interrupted by an extremely irritated Roger Federer. Together with Anne, he sits in an edit studio at a screening with the production team and director. Both realise with horror: the director has practically cut them both out of the whole film. No close-ups of the celebrities, but the screen focuses on the majestic landscapes. The director's reasoning: no one upstages the Grand Tour of Switzerland, no one is more visually stunning than Swiss landscapes. Hathaway leaves the room and complains that Federer had talked her into taking the part. And the latter experiences his second defeat in his quest to become the star of a major Swiss tourism film. 

 

Roger Federer was nervous

Working with Anne Hathaway was great fun for Roger Federer: "It was an absolute privilege to spend time with such a global super star like Anne Hathaway. I was nervous about her high level of acting. But she gave me lots of tips and couldn't have been nicer. She was very helpful and certainly patient with my acting skills." Martin Nydegger, Director of Switzerland Tourism, is also excited about Anne Hathaway: "With such a Hollywood superstar like Anne in our campaign, we are assured of worldwide attention for the Grand Tour of Switzerland." For her part, Anne Hathaway has revealed herself to be a Switzerland fan: "Before the shoot, I was in the Swiss mountains with my family, and not only was it so beautiful but all the people there were so polite, sweet, considerate and - it's actually true - very punctual."

 

Worldwide campaign 2022

The short film is part of a worldwide campaign to promote the Grand Tour of Switzerland. In addition to the film, different promotional materials will be used under the slogan "I need the roadtrip of a lifetime. I need Switzerland." The diversity of Switzerland's nature will be showcased along the Grand Tour of Switzerland, an unforgettable road trip packed with the best of Switzerland. Naturally, this road trip can also be enjoyed very sustainably by travelling in an electric car, as the whole tour is fully electrified.  To make the trip even more memorable, Roger Federer will be the official guide on the number one road trip of the Alps and will present his personal favorite routes on a corresponding website.

 

 

The Grand Tour of Switzerland at a glance:

 

·        A 1643-kilometre round trip through Switzerland, showing the country's most beautiful highlights.

UNESCO and NCPEDP collaborate on Inclusive Education for GDS 2022 Side Event

                                          

 

 

National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP) a cross-disability, non-profit organization, in collaboration with UNESCO, New Delhi organized a virtual Side-Event on the theme of ‘Inclusive Education’, one of the themes of the Global Disability Summit (GDS 2022). 

 

The goal of the virtual event was to understand the impact of Covid-19 on inclusive education of children with disabilities through a South-Asian perspective. The event also aimed to identify key issues and challenges for inclusive education for students with disabilities in the region with a particular focus on how to ensure equitable access to technology to ensure online education. The discussion centered around sharing best practices in imparting disability inclusive education and suggesting recommendations to formulate a regional mechanism and move towards achieving SDG 4 targets in South Asia.

 

Joyce Poan, Chief of Section – Education, UNESCO New Delhi stated, “Considering the losses to learning caused due to the continuous shutting down of schools, the impact on the education of students with disabilities has been devastating. If we are to accelerate progress towards SDG 4 and make education truly universal, we must ensure that it is inclusive and equitable”.

 

At times like this, an ‘inclusive education’ system that includes all and enables equal participation for all who are vulnerable assumes greater significance.  The Side Event for GDS 2022, we hope, will give voice to countless students with disabilities as they pursue their education. As we recover from the impact of the pandemic, we must ensure that an Inclusive education should be the yardstick for any rebuilding and re-envisioning of education globally.

 

The event commenced with welcome remarks by Mr. Arman Ali (Executive Director, NCPEDP), who stated, “The pandemic has pushed us decades behind and it is a critical time to re-think of an inclusive education system that includes all and enables equal participation. The GDS 2022 has given us the opportunity to come together and form a South Asian Regional mechanism to move towards advancing the goal of SDG 4.”

 

Summarizing the discussion, Ms. Huma Masood, National Programme Officer, Education and Gender, UNESCO New Delhi noted that, “The roadmap to achieve the inclusive education goal necessitates converting commitments to actions. UNESCO is leading Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 globally and is responsible for coordinating the international community to achieve this goal through partnerships, policy guidance, capacity development, monitoring and advocacy. It therefore requires regional collaboration and the engagement of all stakeholders to tackle educational challenges and build systems that are inclusive, equitable and relevant to all learners. In this context one of the recommendations would be to set up or join the existing Consortium of organizations and experts, Institutions for South Asia”.
