The biggest European event on renewables and sustainable energy is taking place on 19-21 June in Brussels, less than a month after the EU elections. APPLiA, representing the home appliance industry, will debate on essential topics, such as energy labelling, ecodesign and standardisation, and will shake up the format by giving the word to the youth.

Products reparability is a core interest of the home appliance industry and goes hand in hand with consumers' safety. Paolo Falcioni, APPLiA Director-General, took part at the debate at Patti Chiari and showed how much in terms of consumers' right to reparability the industry has done.

The upcoming of 5G is not far in the future and it represents a fundamental topic for the home appliance industry, which has actively kept up with the developments of the sector and worked to grant the best experience to consumers.

With the present letter, the underdesigned business associations would like to contribute to the Resolution under discussion in the ENVI Committee of the European Parliament by highlighting the potential of demand-side flexibility, digitalisation and decentralised energy resources to enable the clean energy transition.

If only last May APPLiA Polska organised the first of its kind in Europe, Household Appliance Congress and announced the association’s rebranding from tip to toe, in 2019, the AGD Kongres has transformed into a forum looking straight toward the future of the industry. 

Better regulation, predictability, jobs and digitalisation. “Setting the scene for an industrial vision for 2030 and beyond” was the title of the event organised on 9th April by the coalition of 147 organisations dedicated to campaigning for an ambitious EU industrial strategy, Industry4Europe in which APPLiA takes part.
