With our lead topic The Carbon Challenge we have defined three pillars for the UNITECR opening: political framework and customer orientation as well as resilience and sustainability.
We are glad to have Dr. Marie Jaroni representing a major customer industry with her keynote. Leading the team “Decarbonization and Sustainability” at thyssenkrupp Steel she will explain how six million tons of CO2 can be avoided by thyssenkrupp annually by 2030.
Moreover it was possible to win Ranga Yogeshwar for a keynote. With a degree in particle-physics Ranga created and hosted numerous television programs and has received more than 60 awards, including honorary doctorates from the universities of Koblenz-Landau and Wuppertal as well as an honorary professorship from Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. Today he is one of the leading independent science journalists and key-note speakers in Germany.
Parliamentary State Secretary Michael Kellner from the German Federal Ministry for Economy and Climate Protection will give a political perception on our lead topic via video.
