In the tradition of supporting promising technologies and innovative ideas, the Bio-based Materials Conference will again feature two items on its agenda dedicated to this cause:
Start-up Session
The Start-up Session supports young companies with networking and cooperation opportunities and connects them to potential partners from industry and finance. Several start-ups will show their latest development and are looking for industrial partners. Start-ups wishing to participate can send a document presenting their product, process, used feedstock and target markets to Achim Raschka and also highlight the real innovation and the benefits of the product/technology.
Innovation Award “Bio-based Material of the Year 2018″!
For the 11th year in a row, the prestigious Innovation Award “Bio-based Material of the Year 2018” will be granted to the young, innovative bio-based chemicals and materials industry for finding suitable applications and markets for bio-based products. The focus of the award is on new developments within these areas, which had been launched in 2017 or will be launched in 2018. The advisory board will make a preselection of all applications and narrow the field down to a “Top 6” new materials and products. The final decision will be made by the conference participants after the nominees presented their innovations. Applications are open by end of February 2018.
