Moët Hennessy at Vinexpo: A Mindful Forum on Living Soils
Not only will Moët Hennessy be present at this event, but more importantly, it will dedicate its space to an agora serving as a theater of reflections for the future of winemaking. For the first time, Moët Hennessy will speak out on sustainable development alongside international experts. Over the course of the three days, there will be a series of succinct discussions, debates and inquiries to better understand and envision the transmission of preserved and healthier lands to the next generation. Moët Hennessy announces its participation in Vinexpo Paris from February 10 to 12, 2020 with a unique and groundbreaking dimension. The conference will be interspersed with moments of sharing dedicated to tastings and master classes of the exceptional products from Moët Hennessy Maisons.
Moët Hennessy at Vinexpo: A Mindful Forum on Living Soils
Over the three days of the event, Moët Hennessy will present a program of talks addressing challenges facing the wine and spirits industry with transparency, pertinence and pragmatism
These are the kind of questions that will be debated by specialists from within Moët Hennessy Maisons, experts from around the world and those attending Vinexpo in a format designed to be open and dynamic: a series of discussions lasting 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes of questions and answers.
For many years, each of Moët Hennessy’s Maisons have been on the path to sustainable development. Five years ago, Moët Hennessy decided to unite the men and women of all the Maisons to construct a common project around the viticulture committee. More than 40 individuals came together to orchestrate the sharing of savoir-faire learned on the ground at our Maisons around the world. This undertaking led to concrete actions: significant investments in environmentally-friendly equipment, training for farmers and wine-makers in new technologies, assistance in attaining responsible viticulture certifications and support for scientific and university projects to disseminate knowledge and transmit living soils to the future generations.

Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC), the leading international event on cities and smart urban solutions organized by Fira de Barcelona from the 19th to the 21st of November, will not only promote more liveable, sustainable and inclusive cities but will also do it leading by example. On its 2019 edition SCEWC will run two initiatives ‑Towards Zero Waste and Towards Inclusivity‑ focused on becoming an international benchmark of sustainable and inclusive trade show organization.
Smart City Technologies: Urban Mobility
Among this year’s initiatives also features a project to invest the entire profit coming from merchandising sales in the reforestation of the Traid village in Guadalajara (Spain). The initiative has been conducted together with CO2 Revolution, a local start-up who has developed an intelligent seed (Iseed), which can be launched from drones. This new technology enables the reforestation of large tracts of land in hours and at a low cost. The innovative method also allows monitorization of the growth of the ecosystem.
The Towards Zero Waste initiative will implement dematerialization, selective waste collection, prevention and reuse of materials as well as emissions compensation to make SCEWC as sustainable as possible. The actions included in the plan comprise the elimination of single-use plastics, elimination of food waste, reuse of materials -including passes and pass holders-, selective waste collection, dematerialization of event tools (event App, electronic invoicing, e-kiosk and press corner) and carbon emissions compensation.
Towards Inclusivity
This year SCEWC will also focus on inclusivity through a new project under the name Towards Inclusivity, which aims to make sure the event is accessible to all attendees, and that everyone feels represented and has a voice. This initiative strengthens the event’s goal to make cities more inclusive and comprises a series of actions such as providing electric scooters to ensure that people with reduced mobility are able to move throughout the venue, reserving spaces for wheelchairs and scooters in all Congress rooms and also at the venue’s food courts, organize guided tours for people with visual impairment and guaranteeing full accessibility in all areas of the Gran Via venue.
SCEWC’s Towards Zero Waste Initiative has been in action since 2015 and during the 2018 edition it prevented the production of over 15,300 kg of waste -an increase of 190% from 2017-, ensured the selective collection of 10,740 kg of waste – 253% increase from 2017-, reused 23,000 m2 of carpet and compensated for 181.25 tonnes of CO2.
In addition, SCWEC will also continue to work to reduce the gender gap by increasing the representation of women at the Congress and dedicating specific Congress sessions to gender equality. Cultural and religious diversity will also be a main focus of the initiative and the event will provide dedicated prayer rooms, adapted to all needs, and prayer kits for ablutions to attendees and will offer a variety of lunch menus with halal, kosher and veggie/vegan options.

At IFA 2019, held September 6-11 2019 in Berlin, Sharp will unveil the world’s largest liquid crystal display monitor
Alongside a range of prosumer cameras and camcorders, the enormous, 120-inch screen will form part of a showcase of Sharp’s groundbreaking 8K+5G Ecosystem, which also includes applications of 8K technology in arenas such as medical science and the arts. Attendees will also be introduced to Sharp’s AIoT line of smart life solutions, including the latest updates to RoBoHoN, the company’s unique robotic mobile phone.
Extending its long track-record as a pioneer in the field of 8K technology and products, IFA2019 will see Sharp propose an evolution of its industry-leading 8K+5G Ecosystem that takes advantage of the possibilities offered by the massive high-speed data transfer capacity of 5G mobile technology. As well as the launch of a 5G service to support the data requirements of 8K UHD imaging, the comprehensive framework promises to transform consumers’ lives in a variety of fields, from video production and transmission, to medical and educational applications.
“Since our launch of the world’s first-ever 8K display back in 2011, Sharp has continued to develop 8K products in the BtoC realm, but thanks to advances in communication and imaging technology, we are now also able to offer fresh value in the field of BtoB,” said Kazuhiro Kitamura, Business Unit President, Global TV Systems BU and Head of Europe Business. “Currently, we are partnering with other companies to run verification tests in various fields. By working in tandem with other firms’ technology, rather than promoting our own 8K offerings in isolation, we are able to foster breakthroughs and nurture 8K+5G Ecosystem across an ever-wider range of disciplines. The more partners we can bring on board with groundbreaking technological advances of their own, the more we can achieve together to enrich society and people’s lives.”
One field for which Sharp has particularly high hopes is learning. The company will display 8K Viewer for museum and school use at IFA2019. This Viewer, pairing with 5G connectivity enables to display artistic masterworks with substantially greater detail and resolution than can be observed with the naked eye opens up fresh possibilities for remote viewing. Such advances have massive potential in the fields of education and art restoration.
Displays at IFA 2019 are just a few more of the many ways in which Sharp is continuing to change the world through 8K, 5G and AIoT.
