But it is much more than that. Over the years we have inspired the interest groups of the glass industry to perform better and more efficiently primarily by exchanging information & technologies and expanding the horizons of the industry. We have done this together and have seen amazing dimensions of what glass can do – in energy economy, in solar applications and many other aspects. We have also seen the importance of providing the GPD as a source of inspiration and an ace for tough times. It is important not to duck when times are tough but to look forward and invite better times by positive action. • almost 850 participants from over 55 countries • over 300 presentations • 17 workshops • Glass Expo Doing this cost-effectively is the special Ace of the GPD itself.
