CECE – EDA Think tank 2019: “Equipment for demolition: trends & challenges”


Presentation

CECE and EDA organize the Think Tank 2019, that will take place on October 16th 2019 in Autoworld (Brussels), under the title ‘Equipment for demolition: trends & challenges’.

This is the 4th edition after the successful Think tank 2018 ‘Equipment for Demolition’, the Think tank called “The next ten years” (held in 2016) and the one about “Recycling and end-of-life of construction products” (2014).

The Think Tank 2019 is an open workshop, where experts and members from both organizations look ahead and try to understand how the future of the demolition equipment sector will look like, from the perspective of contractors and suppliers.

The event will take place in the framework of CECE Summit 2019.
