【3D Printing News】Ultimaker Participates in JCI World Congress 2017
The 2017 Junior Chamber International World Congress brought together young people, businesses, government, and communities in the Netherlands.
The event, held in Amsterdam from November 6th to November 10th, 2017, offered people from around the world opportunities for personal and professional development, creating positive local and international change.
On November 7th, from 10:00 AM to 10:45 AM, Ultimaker co-founder and CTO Siert Wijnia addressed a large audience in a lecture on 3D printing and SDGs, advocating for the lasting impact of 3D printing.
Siert's presentation covered the past, present, and future of 3D printing technology, as well as Ultimaker's role in this evolution.
Siert also discussed how Ultimaker has redefined the world of 3D printing through its commitment to reliability and accessibility, making it a favorite among global businesses, educators, and professional users.
Following Siert's presentation, our service partner Distrinova arranged for each guest speaker to visit Makerversity, giving them the opportunity to design and 3D print objects using Ultimaker 3D printers.
Ultimaker sees a unique opportunity to have a strong impact on the future of education and employment.
