#process: Process Innovation
The GEA Process Innovation Stage in Hall 9.0 will focus on topics such as electrification, flexibilization and biotechnologization of chemical processes as well as contributions to smart digital technologies in plant construction and operation. In the Process Highlight Session “Nature as a role model – maximum resource efficiency in the chemical industry”, experts will discuss the vision of a fully resource-efficient chemical industry and its implementation. The Process Innovation highlight session will take place on Friday, 14 June 2024 from 12:00 to 13:00.
#lab: Lab Innovation
More than ever, success in the laboratory is determined by the technologies used in the laboratory and at the interfaces to engineering and production. This is the focus of the presentations on the Lab Innovation Stage in Hall 12.0. In addition to the Lab Innovation Stage, ACHEMA 2024 will also feature an action area dedicated to the digitalized, miniaturized and automated laboratory of the future. Besides innovative bioanalytics and (bio)pharmaceutical applications, sustainability as well as the planning, construction, equipment and operation of laboratories will also be highlighted. The latter is a particular focus in the SEFA Theatre of the Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association: at ACHEMA, it is the contact point for laboratory operators, architects, users and experts from the laboratory community who want to find out more about the laboratory-grade environment and gain insights into successful examples from around the world. br
