Last Thursday, 06.06.2024, the 3rd IKS expert panel took place as part of the general meeting of the association Innovation and Circular Economy Saxony e.V. at the Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park. Under the title "Innovation and structural change", renowned guests were invited to enrich the event with a keynote speech and a subsequent panel discussion.
We welcomed Christine Herntier, Mayor of the city of Spremberg and spokesperson for the Brandenburg municipalities, Roland Peine, Managing Director of ASG Spremberg GmbH and Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, former Deputy Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia and Director of the new Center of Excellence for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship at TU Dresden.

During the 3rd IKS expert panel, both technical conditions of structural change and issues of local importance were discussed, such as the development of the social environment, housing, education, medical care and digitalization. The possibilities of Industry 5.0 were also discussed.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Beckmann moderierte die Podiumsdiskussion
In addition to the board and members of IKS e.V., the association's cooperation partners also took part, including LVR Sachsen e.V., Leichtbauallianz Sachsen e.V./ Circular MTC e.V., VAIS e.V. and Rhein Ruhr Power e.V.
It was overwhelming for all participants to see how dynamic the development of the Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park and the surrounding communities is.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the three panel guests - Mayor Herntier, Mr. Peine and Prof. Dr. Pinkwart - as well as all participants and guests for the exciting discussion, professional exchange and networking.
We look forward to seeing you again at the next IKS e.V. expert panel next year.
