Retour sur le congrès / Review of the Congress

APE_SIA congress

 

Electricity, the affordable power of tomorrow: France at the forefront!

Nearly 200 experts from Korea, Japan and various European countries met at the end of April at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris to discuss the present and the future of car electrification.

Restriction in cities and territories of all sizes, implementation of COP21 agreements, new general awareness and shared by all actors are all factors of reflection in full acceleration of a new form of power electronics. Efficiency, power and affordable costs summarize well the collective challenges brought by the world experts of the field during the SIA APE Conference.

Jochen Langheim Chairman of our Congress (STMicroelectronics & Chairman of Euripides, EUREKA cluster, an initiative over 30 years old that brings international research between 44 countries.) has answered questions for Ingénieur de l'Auto magazine >> download the interview FRENCH ONLY
