My name is Lorenzo Faggiano. I am an associate professor here at Polytechnico di Milano, and let's start this 2021 Airborne Wind Energy Conference. So I'm really honored to open the conference as a program chair and a member of the organizing committee together with
00:20
Stephanie Toms from Airborne Wind Europe, my colleague Alessandro Croce from Polytechnico di Milano, and professor Roland Schmel from TU Delft. So it's an honor and let me say I'm really really happy to see all of you here in presence. I see many faces that I know since
00:43
long time, in some cases 10 or 15 years, but I see even more new faces that people that entered the field more recently, so that's great. So when I participate to conferences I like to see, I'm curious to see some statistics on participants, so I prepared just
01:09
just one slide on that. So up to yesterday we had around 170 registered participants and you
01:21
have a country breakdown there, so you see most of the people are from Europe as it's quite usual for this kind of event. Actually Germany accounts for 25 percent of the total participants, but we also see people from the U.S. and Japan. So overall I think with respect to the
01:47
previous edition, 2019 Airborne Wind Energy Conference, we are more or less at the same level. What is totally different is that the world is different since then. I mean this was October 2019, the last Airborne Wind Energy Conference, now we are in 2022. We all know what happened
02:06
in the meantime. So I think overall it's great news that this sector is still there, still very active. We all know about notable up and downs. I mean recently, a few months ago,
02:21
we had about 10 de-registrations because some companies could not do it, but overall I think that on average the sector is actually growing. So I see more and more efforts, collaborations, public-private collaborations, funding, and there is a discontinuity
02:40
in the field. There is now a commercial product, first commercial product, so that's the big discontinuity and I think overall situation now is most favorable for innovative renewable energy technologies. So I really hope that this conference will be a great opportunity for a restart after the pandemic and I really hope that you will have an excellent conference
03:07
with many opportunities for networking and that you will be happy after this conference.
