 ent some of the major threats for our planet: they are constantly worsenin
 g at an unexpected pace difficult to keep up with and Its consequences are
  more evident and clearer everyday – humanity has to take action. In thi
 s scenario\, emerging technologies for developing eco-friendly solutions i
 n different fields are the necessary keys to invest in. Materials science 
 stands at the base of promising strategies in different fields of outmost 
 relevance\, from energy production and storage\, to biodegradable and recy
 cling materials. \n\nInnovation Forum Lausanne is proud to be part of the
  movement towards sustainable development by carrying out its activities a
 ccording to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Th
 is year's Annual Conference will focus on Materials for Sustainability.\n\
 nThe goal of the event is to bring together top scientists\, entrepreneurs
  professional policy makers and experts from established companies to shar
 e their ideas and knowledge with the audience. We aim at raising the aware
 ness not only on the current problems\, but also on the possible solutions
 . In particular\, we plan to introduce approaches based on new materials\
 , recycling processes and derived technologies as the fundamental bricks t
 o build impactful solutions.\n\nSave your spot now with a free ticket and 
 don't miss the opportunity to join the great network of scientists and ent
 repreneurs during the booth session and apéro. \n\nSchedule:\n16:00 | Re
