The "Innovation" Session at the 40th Şişecam International Glass Conference will showcase pioneering advances across the industry: Pekka Nieminen (LEADUS TECH) on a low temperature metallic sealing process for vacuum insulated glass — eliminating pump out ports and enabling fully tempered glass with greater durability and efficiency. Dr. Sabri Alamri (Fusion Bionic) on bioinspired laser micro- and nanostructuring that gives glass anti-glare, anti-reflective, and anti-soiling properties directly into the surface, without coatings. Dr. Berk Alkan (Şişecam) on a materials-level comparison of smart glazing technologies for architectural and automotive glass — weighing electro-optical response, process tolerance, and scalable integration. Dr. Ashutosh K. Singh (Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences) on developing affordable, power-efficient smart windows that optimize indoor light and heat transmission for energy-saving applications. Han-Alexander Pothoven (DK Automotive Glass) on integrating switchable films with infrared reflective coatings to enable scalable smart glazing solutions that enhance light control, thermal comfort, and the overall passenger experience.   June 18, 2026 / Hall‑1 #GlassConference #Şişecam
