Brief summary

To incorporate sustainability criteria in the strategy opens new horizons to the Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Food and Beverage industries, making possible at the same time critical development initiatives that allow European industries of all sectors to continue being competitive.

Sustainability means innovation, be it in the way of introducing or using new products, modifying a process, or optimizing all processes through the minimisation of consumption and waste.

In this context, “Sustainable Chemistry, Innovative and Competitive Companies” allows you to explore, through real case studies, how the Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Food & Beverage Industries can:

  • Make use of new solutions
  • Implement new processes

To be more profitable innovating with sustainability criteria.

“Sustainable Chemistry, Innovative and Competitive Companies” focuses on competitiveness being attained via:

  • New Plant Design: includes aspects such as Process intensification, Purification and Formulation processes to support zero-emission plants producing purer products, etc.
  • New Solutions for Plant control: relates to the shift towards knowledge-based, model-centric manufacturing, subsequently strongly increasing efficiency and flexibility of the Conference target industries.
  • Novel synthetic concepts and products: new synthetic pathways with reduced number of steps, higher energy efficiency, lower raw materials consumption and avoidance of by-products and waste, specific approaches utilising alternative, especially renewable feedstock, catalytic transformations, in-silico techniques, or biotechnological processing.
  • Technology transfer and high tech SME interaction.
  • REACH Management. REACH places greater responsibility on industry to manage the risk of chemicals and provide appropriate safety information to professional users and, as far as the most hazardous substances are concerned, also to consumers.

Who should attend:

The conference is targeted both at leading European Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Food & Beverage companies and also at smaller and medium sized companies, that are in many countries the basis of these Industrial Sectors. Participants will include directors and senior managers with responsibility in innovation and new business development programmes, as well as those involved in strategy definition and market development.
