The European Chamber Southwest Chapter is delighted to convene our esteemed members to attend the Chongqing Solar Impulse VIP Dinner on Monday September 15th at the Hilton Hotel Chongqing.
“Solar Impulse” is the project of a unique high-tech aircraft that is powered purely by solar energy. The aircraft will make its world tour travel in 2015. Solar Impulse’s world tour is a premiere and will enjoy high global media attention. Several world-leading companies sponsor this project, some of them also being AC members of the European Chamber. The project team cooperates with a number of world-leading universities like the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and Chongqing University. It is planned that during its tour around the world, the aircraft will make also a stop in Chongqing in March 2015, and we expect then high attention from the government and the public.
During the VIP dinner, our members will have the opportunity to talk to one of the masterminds behind the project: the CEO of Solar Impulse, Mr. André Borschberg and other members of the Solar Impulse team.
Mr. Borschberg, CEO of Solar Impulse and holder of FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) world records will be one of the two pilots flying the aircraft during its tour around the world.
Mr. Borschberg will provide amazing details about the high technology of the aircraft as well as the challenges for the pilots. Insuring a smooth ascension while mastering challenges might also teach us some lessons for our business lives.
Buckle up and join us in an exclusive night of inspiration and extraordinary voyages. Seats are limited.
