It´s all about give and take

Our objective is to use the accumulated knowledge from conferences, white papers, and material donated by fellows of the institute.

The idea is to transfer knowhow and technology and to promote international networking by providing an educational process that will benefit all involved.

The educational concept will cover the entire sourcing chain for glass and will include basic properties, techniques for processing, structural design, and practical daily issues for installations with other materials.

Promote knowledge sharing

If the glass industry is ever going to increase the clock-speed of innovation it has to accept that only knowledge shared adds value.

The Glass Innovation Institute believes that current professionals and retired experts have a lot of valuable information needed to increase the use of glass.

GII provides an independent crossover for transfer of information, skills, and a logical thought process, which are the three prerequisites for creativity.

Return on investment

Your investment in the Glass Innovation Institute (by donating material, by paying a membership fee or in most cases both) will lead to more sales and faster R&D.
