The Ignite International Ceramic Innovation Congress, scheduled for September 28 and 29, continues to gather high-level support. The organization, led by the Castellón Chamber of Commerce, has officially confirmed the incorporation of PortCastelló as a strategic sponsor of the event. This alliance directly links the province's main logistics platform with a forum seeking to redefine the technological and sustainable future of the ceramic industry.
The participation of the port of Castellón underscores the interdependence between ceramic production and logistical efficiency, a decisive factor for the sector's competitiveness in international markets. The Castellón Chamber of Commerce has valued this incorporation, emphasizing that PortCastelló's support is not only institutional but represents a fundamental pillar in the ceramic value chain.
“"Logistics and exports are, along with in-plant innovation, the engines that allow the Castellón sector to maintain its global leadership. Therefore, PortCastelló's presence at Ignite raises the ambition of this first congress. We cannot talk about ceramic innovation without talking about the infrastructure that connects us to the world."
The program for this first edition of Ignite has been designed to offer tangible answers to the industry's current needs, structured around five key thematic areas. The congress will prioritize real and competitive decarbonization of the sector, analyzing energy alternatives that ensure sustainability without compromising economic viability. Furthermore, it will delve into deep industrial digitalization, exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence and digital twins to optimize production processes.
Alongside these challenges, the congress will address the development of advanced ceramic materials and their new applications in contemporary architecture, as well as industrial sustainability and circularity in efficient resource management. Finally, a space will be dedicated to analyzing industrial geopolitics, essential for understanding how international markets and current regulations influence the growth of Castellón's ceramic cluster.
