SESSIONS & EVENTS

International PV Trade Partner Forum

PV industry is highly relying on international trade because of the nature of the industry. When the cost pressure is extended to the whole PV value chain, supply chain management and optimization becomes a key gating factor on PV business profitability and scalability. This forum is setup to bring supply chain management executives along PV value chain including cell/module makers, materials/equipment suppliers and other service providers to brainstorm the opportunity and challenge in PV supply chain development/collaboration. The invited speakers from semiconductor and other mature industry will share their lesson-learn with PV industry as well. The forum will greatly drive the consensus among the audiences that an open and fair international trade environment is more favorable for PV industry’s sustaining growth. It will be a more constructive and proactive approach to reduce the trade dispute in PV industry.
