Eurovent’s Board of Directors has elected Mikael Börjesson as the association’s new President during its 70th General Assembly held on 21 May in Brussels, Belgium. He succeeds Raul Corredera Haener, who completed two consecutive three-year terms.
Börjesson has been active in the HVAC industry since the early 1990s and has held technical, strategic and leadership roles in building automation, ventilation, sustainability and competence development. He currently serves as Director Future Solutions & Public Affairs at Swegon and has been a longstanding member of the Eurovent Board of Directors. He will conclude the remainder of Corredera Haener’s current mandate.
The Annual Meeting also saw the election of two new members to the Eurovent Board of Directors: Rafael Moral Gant, Director at Systemair Spain, and Benoit Viard, Director of Operational Marketing, Communication and Brands at Carrier.
The 70th Eurovent Annual Meeting brought together senior representatives from across Eurovent’s membership for two days of governance meetings, policy discussions and networking. The programme included meetings of the Eurovent Board, Eurovent Commission and the General Assembly session, as well as a Policy Hour focused on political, regulatory and market developments shaping the European HVACR sector.
Discussions addressed the implementation of European Green Deal policies, implementation and market outlook regarding F-Gas legislation, energy efficiency requirements, digitalisation of building systems and the general outlook of the HVACR market. Members also exchanged views on competitiveness, market surveillance and the role of European manufacturing in supporting sustainability and decarbonisation objectives.
“It will be an honour to serve as President of Eurovent at a time when our industry stands at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and responsibility. Eurovent has long been a voice of expertise and collaboration across Europe and beyond. Together, we represent not just technologies, but solutions that improve lives, through better indoor climates, energy efficiency, and environmental leadership,” said Mikael Börjesson.
