International Chemical Start-Ups Meet Industry Representatives And Investors

The 1st European Chemistry Partnering will take place on February 16th 2017. For the first time, innovative international chemical start-ups and small to medium-sized chemical companies will meet with established members of the chemical industry, user industries and investors at such a large setting. The core of the Congress is a series of short company presentations (“Pitches”), as well as accompanying partnering opportunities to facilitate dialog and business discussions on the day of the event.

The one-day 1st European Chemistry Partnering event focusses on young, innovative companies that aim to use their technologies, products and services to participate in existing chemical value-added chains. Topics and trends such as new raw material supply chains, changes in energy demand, sustainability and digitization, all demand a transformation from the Chemical industry. In addition to new substances, processes and chemical apparatus, innovations from Nano or Biotechnology, as well as data processing are all encroaching on the traditional business fields of chemistry.

Dr. Holger Bengs, the event initiator and Managing Director of BCNP Consultants said “We conceived the 1st European Chemistry Partnering, together with our partners, because we had identified a desire of the chemical industry for new products and processes in many areas as diverse as nutrition, building, mobility, energy, housing, leisure, clothing and health. Industry representatives and Investors can look forward to a series of short presentations from innovative companies from Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland and Germany.”

The 1st European Chemistry Partnering is an innovative concept organized jointly by BCNP Consultants and IHK Hessen (Chamber of Commerce and Industry), and is supported by numerous organizations from the Chemical and Biotechnology industries. The lead sponsor is Hessen Trade & Invest.
