A working session, not a demonstration. The guest is in the room as an operator. Partners underwrite the hour; they do not set the questions.

With Lars Madsen, VP of operations, European cell manufacturer.

  1. 1.Where do commissioning calendars actually slip — utilities, dry rooms, or the workforce that can run them?
  2. 2.What would you not dual-source, even now?
  3. 3.If you had one more year and no more capital, what would you change first?

Seats will open with the first session. Register for the briefing in the meantime.
