Masterclasses
In the 6 masterclasses, the participants and experts will develop solutions for Hyperloop topics.
Masterclass 1: „Building the Korean hyperloop value chain”
Korea is one of the most innovative regions in the world, with advanced transport systems like KTX and home of the main magnetic levitation commuters like Incheon Airport Maglev. The evolution towards hyperloop will need big corporations, institutions, researchers and startups to cooperate to make the system a reality and in this workshop we will connect the dots to understand what’s needed to create a robust hyperloop value chain for South Korea.
ALEJANDRO GOMEZ (VICE-PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT)
Masterclass 2: „Hightech Tubes for Hyperloop”
In this Masterclass we will delve into the fascinating world of Hyperloop tubes. Over the course of the class, we will explore the intricacies of these tubes, their design, construction, material and the challenges they still present. The latest insights will be shared and you will have plenty of opportunity to give your views and share your ideas. You will learn which material offers the perfect balance of strength, durability, cost effectiveness, safety and sustainability for Hyperloop tubes.
