The European expertise industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a really long time thought of the enhancement of their world competitiveness throughout the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of energy efficiency and ecolabel regulations. In parallel, digitalisation has supplied increased alternatives and introduced new challenges, including debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of industrial knowledge, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).

Against เกจวัดแรงดันดิจิตอล , one of many main issues when determining the core themes for the joint convention was to maintain up a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to focus on how, along with the importance for companies to handle technical elements impacting their day by day enterprise operations, they consider the constructive function of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the classes may have a technical theme matching the most appropriate UN SDG, and with illustration from the European Commission together with technical experts from business and/or analysis institutes, they’ll every be reflective of the present legislative terrain, because it pertains to pumps and pumping systems within the following key areas:
Circular Economy & Eco-design (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 12: Responsible Consumption and Production)
Industry’s Digital Transformation and Innovation (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)
The restriction of use of materials and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
