The CEA at INES, Partner of the Photovoltaic Solar Industrial Sector Day

Research and innovation

Published on 09/05/2024

On October 9th, join the gathering of key players from the French industrial value chain!

In a context where the strategic sovereignty of (re)building a French and European production sector for wafers, cells, and photovoltaic modules is becoming a priority—supported by strong public commitment and the development of two "giga-factory" projects in France—Capenergies invites you to the PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR MEETING.

This event will be an opportunity to discuss:

The European and national context,
The challenges across the various segments of the value chain,
The need for skills and training,
The synergy between industrial development and R&D advancements.
