Re-Design for Performance debated at the Green Project Awards Conference on 28 June

The transition of the classical industrial model towards a Performance Economy will be the highlight of the next GPA - Green Project Awards Conference, which will be held at the Porto Inova Building, on 28 June, starting at 9 am.

This event, co-organised by COTEC, gathers entrepreneurs, businesspeople, researchers, scholars and political decision-makers.

The conference is aimed at debating the fundamental change in all the sectors of the manufacturing industries, from the traditional manufacturing model to the functional services production.

"This change is the answer to the pressure on environmental resources and to the high quantity waste arising from the mass consumer markets expansion", as stated by the organisation.

Science, knowledge and technology are the basis for the development of the Performance Economy, focused on the design of innovative and more efficient digital services, a combination of superior raw-materials, products, and "smart" systems and solutions.

The conference programme includes the showcasing of innovation "sufficiency solutions" and "product as a service".
