European Biotechnology | Summer Edition | Vol. 21 | 2022

27–28 June, 2022 hbw ConferenceCenter, Munich, Germany

A unifying event ISEF enables the exchange of actors across boundaries of industrial sectors and aims to formulate policies required to advance a sustainable economy. More than 200 participants are expected to join the forum at hbw ConferenceCenter in Munich on 27/28 June 2022.

BIOECONOMY

This year’s International Sustainable Economy Forum (ISEF) kicks off a recurring event series. It brings together all stakeholders, regardless of raw materials, methods, and products, working to jointly tackle not only the challenges of climate change but also a reasonable and feasible transformation to a viable future economy.

A future economy may include many strategies and approaches, referred to

› QUICK FACTS What International Sustainable Economy Forum (ISEF) When 27-28 June 2022 Where hbw Conference Center, Munich

www.isef-munich.com

as Bioeconomy, Green Economy, CO 2 as raw material, “Zero Waste”, Circular Economy / “Cradle to Cradle”, Recycling (mechanical, chemical), Hydrogen Economy, and Industrial Biotechnology, the latter as a potentially gentle and environmentally friendly conversion method.

All these efforts are outstanding, useful and necessary. However, none of these strategies are complete and none can constitute a comprehensive guideline for a future viable economy on its own. What is apparently missing, in our view, is an underlying principle or a ‘unifying element’ that combines the positive aspects of all these strategies.

This principle can only be the “sustainability” with its three pillars, efficiency, consistency and sufficiency. All approaches must suffice these claims.

ISEF provides space for discussion and exchange to scrutinize the different approaches according to the criteria of sustainability, to identify barriers for stakeholders in implementation and to propose measures L to solve them.

Join ISEF! GREETING Our chance to shape the future economy – the motto for this year’s ISEF. It addresses an industrial audience and covers the strategies of a sustainable economy in its entirety, rather than just dealing with partial aspects, methods, or raw materials. The forum is essentially designed by the partners, who will present their entrepreneurial solutions in their talks and in the exhibition. By bringing together many industries, your participation in ISEF will make your entrepreneurial approach more visible and expand the reach of your network.

Following the event, the expressed requirements for desirable transformation processes will be forwarded to policy-makers. Both the program and the engagement of active participants are already outstanding. Come aboard ISEF, too!

We, the IBB Netzwerk GmbH and Chemie-Cluster Bayern GmbH, are looking forward to welcoming you in Munich on 27 and 28 June 2022.

ACHEMA 2022 ACHEMA is back in Frankfurt: from 22 to 26 August 2022, the Frankfurt Fairground will once again be the meeting place for the global process industries.

PROCESSING

Manufacturers and service providers will present their products and services for the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, energy and environmental sectors. With the focal topics "The Digital Lab", "Product and Process Security" and "Modular and Connected Production", ACHEMA 2022 will address the issues that are preying on the mind of the process industries.

In the Action Area Digital Lab, equipment and software manufacturers show vendor-independent digitaliza-

tion solutions based on relevant practical scenarios. The presentations range from Cobot assistance, laboratory execution systems, horizontally and vertically connected – yet modularly adaptable– device solutions to the new Laboratory & Analytical Device Standard.

In addition, the megatopics of digitalisation and climate neutrality are moving even more into the focus of ACHEMA with the "Digital Hub" and the "Green Innovation Zone".

All congress sessions will take place either on stages directly in the exhibition halls or in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition groups. Another change to the Congress is that there will be five theme days instead of three: › Hydrogen Economy (22 August) › Fossil Free Production (23 August) › Perspectives in Laboratory & Analytics (24 August) › Digitalisation in Process Industry (25 August) › Novel Bioprocesses and Technologies (26 August).

With the exhibition and the closer integration of the various components, ACHEMA 2022 will offer a complete 360-degree perspective on all trends and technologies in the process indusL try.
