INVITATION FOR INDUSTRY SUPPORT
The XXVI CPAG symposium 2025 is an opportunity to meet your friends and business partners in one place and meet new ones, with the possibility of promoting your company, technology, or product. We hope that you will find interest and help in organizing this gathering, as in previous years. If you decide to present and promote yourself at the symposium and thereby participate in the work of the gathering, please contact us.
Just like last year, we want the emphasis to be on the motivation and promotion of young staff, through their active participation in the work of the meeting. At this year’s symposium, we would like young engineers and students to present their ideas about innovations in production, new technical solutions, proposals for improving the production process or work organization at the meeting, and the best among them will be adequately rewarded. In this direction, we would like your support, regarding the prize fund and selection of the best.
