Innovative strength has been a cornerstone of Bachem’s business success since the founding nearly 50 years ago. Günther Loidl, Chief Technology Officer for Bachem Holding, talks about a new innovation management system that will further heighten the importance of innovation in the future.
Single-step, Ambient, Dry Grafting of Organic Compounds and Biomolecules onto any Substrate.
Hybrid assemblies, joints of dissimilar materials, are everywhere - in our smartphones, cars, TVs, dishwashers, in planes and so on. However, in modern products we increasingly rely on plastics, which are intrinsically hard to bond to other types of material — and by using industrial glue for the bonding the parts cannot be recycled easily. Solving this monumental challenge inspired the foundation of the Danish start-up company RadiSurf five years ago.
Cellugy was founded two years ago by a diverse team of young academics and professionals from Spain, Indonesia, Albania, and Denmark. Working together at Aarhus University in Denmark, the idea of developing a material based on nanocellulose as an alternative to plastic barrier coatings arose and grew into a start-up and a first product. Co-founders Isabel Alvarez-Martos and Deby Fapyane talk about their motivation and vision.
Molecule.one leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to design novel chemical syntheses. As a response to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Polish start-up based in Warsaw has set out on the mission to accelerate the process of creating medicines.
The change in many chemical companies’ product portfolio away from commodities to customer-specific specialties is one of the current challenges facing the process industry.
Iris.ai was founded at Singularity University at NASA Ames Research Park in 2015. Challenged to come up with an idea that would positively impact the lives of 1 billion people, the team was formed and problem areas were explored.
The fate of the agrochemical innovation, development, product launch and production are strongly linked to the parallel development of the fine chemicals and custom manufacturing industry.
The change in many chemical companies’ product portfolio away from commodities to customer-specific specialties is one of the current challenges facing the process industry.
At the end of the third quarter, the chemical industry continues to face an economic slowdown, compounded by international trade conflicts, increased political uncertainty, and fundamental changes to the value chain (e. g. the case of electro-mobility.)
Virtually all areas of our lives would be inconceivable without products that come directly or indirectly in contact with chemical production: It affects the modern office environment, our private lives and thus our well-being and life fulfilment including health, leisure and personal protection.
