1) Research on Power Plant Technologies in Germany Stands for Most Modern Technologies
2) VGB Safety and Health Award 2014 Nominations Open Through 31 July 2014
3) VGB Quality Award 2014 Nominations Open Through 31 July 2014
The Power-Gen Europe, exhibition and congress on technologies for thermal and renewable power plants, demonstrates the capability of German technology provider and by this the results of successful research. Therefore, the three industrial associations focussed on technologies in power plant industries, FDBR Fachverband Anlagenbau, VDMA Power Systems, and VGB PowerTech, point out the importance of a vital research scenery for a sustainable energy supply worldwide.
