Call for nominations: New Foundry Generation Forum 2015: Y1
We are calling for nominations of candidates for the 2015, Year One (Y1) enrolment to the New Foundry Generation Forum (NFGF) programme.
The New Foundry Generation Forum (NFGF) was launched in 2013 to boost young leaders in the foundry industry and is a programme of the National Foundry Technology Network (NFTN), a proud initiative of the dti.
Aim of the NFGF
Through the NFGF, we aim to equip and develop the next generation of foundry leaders through the provision of a neutral platform where young professionals can network and engage with each other to address challenges faced within the industry. The intent of this programme is to equip and empower young leaders participating in the programme, and will expose them to front-end technologies and more importantly, to the logic around functional design that foundries worldwide are using to better understand and engage the needs of their customers. The NFGF will encourage and support young leaders as they work their way into foundry seniority, and assist participants to play a more defined and assertive role in driving towards a transformed and more competitive cast metals industry in South Africa.
Objectives of the NFGF
To present a series of courses, technology demonstrations and presentations of the latest equipment on the market in collaboration with key partners.
