Interview with Joachim Haupt and Florian Kaiser, PharmAI
The value in applying AI in Pharma is in making new and better drugs available faster than would be possible otherwise. By augmenting sparse-data AI with expert knowledge and applying it to the latest nanoparticle engineering techniques, opportunities are created to eliminate the risk associated with new techniques and give therapeutics a second chance to reach the patients who need them.
Management pays a lot of attention to new ideas and cutting-edge technologies, but most of their resources are consumed by mature legacy technologies that are often not actively and rigorously managed. A visual matrix can help teams understand which technologies offer the greatest long-term potential for businesses.

Antwerp is the home port of the largest integrated chemical cluster in Europe. It is the place for entering into partnerships throughout the chain and even across sectors.
If you follow the daily news on climate protection and the promotion of hydrogen technologies, you sometimes get a sense of déjà vu: Didn't this already exist 20 years ago? What was implemented at that time? What sustainable hydrogen-based technologies can we expect today?
Interview with Jere Koskinen and Ali Harlin, Mega Cellulose.
After an initial euphoria, the use of microreaction technology stagnated, but it is now on the way to establishing itself in production. A world-scale system is currently being set up in China that uses the Miprowa technology from Ehrfeld Mikrotechnik.
Lubricants for automotive, mechanical engineering, aviation and various other industries: This is the business model of Fuchs Schmierstoffe from Mannheim.
When Circa was founded in 2006, the company’s aim was to convert non-food cellulose into high-performance, renewable chemicals, at scale — extracting value from waste biomass and addressing a gap in the market for better, more sustainable materials.
As gender and diversity, as well as the body positivity movement, become more and more prevalent among young consumers, beauty companies are finding that they are going to have to re-define how products are advertised if they want to stay relevant.
