Meet the team. IBioIC will be hosting a joint ‘Team Scotland’ pavilion with ScotChem and Chairing two sessions:
Build and Scale for a Biobased Future - 15th May 10.30am-12pm, Stage 5
Harnessing the Power of Biotechnology Towards Sustainable Chemicals Manufacturing - 16th May 11am-12.30pm, Stage 3
CHEMUK 2024 Group Of Events will return on the 15th & 16th May 2024 running in Hall 1 at the NEC, Birmingham. The expo will present 500+ specialist exhibitors and 150+ expert speakers split between four major show zones:
Chemicals Supply Show Zone
Chemicals Management Show Zone
Process & Chemical Engineering Show Zone
Chemical Laboratory Show Zone
CHEMUK Supply Chain Expo and Speaker Programme
CHEMUK is now established as the UK’s largest annual Chemical, Laboratory & Process Industries Supply Chain Expo & Speaker Programme.
The event will run in one giant hall and showcase over 500 specialist exhibitors across four show zones: the Chemicals Supply Show zone; the Chemical Management Show zone, the Process & Chemical Engineering Show zone, and the Chemical Laboratory Show zone.
The CHEMUK 2-day speaker programme will host some 100+ expert speakers discussing the big challenges and opportunities affecting the UK’s chemical and chemical product industries.
The expo is free to attend for everyone!
IBioIC Chem UK Sessions 2024
Engineering Biology Scale-up Session
Time - 15 May 10.30am-12pm, Stage 5
Session title:
‘Build and Scale for a Biobased Future’
Draft Session Description:
Engineering Biology is a transformative technology that introduces engineering principles to biology, to design, scale, and commercialise biology derived products. Engineering Biology plays an increasingly critical role in sustainability, and the UK’s journey to Net Zero. Its importance was recently recognised by the UK Government when they announced £2 billion of investment into Engineering Biology over the next 10 years.
This session will explore all the building blocks needed to transition from chemical processing to bioprocessing. We will hear from industry and academia, highlighting the benefits Engineering Biology has brought to the development of sustainable end products. We will also introduce the UK’s support landscape for the design, build, test, and scaling of novel products and processes harnessing the power of Engineering Biology.
Sustainable Chemicals Panel Session Discussion
Time - 16 May 11am-12.30pm, Stage 3
Draft Session title:
Harnessing the Power of Biotechnology Towards Sustainable Chemicals Manufacturing
Draft Session Overview:
The Scottish and UK Governments have set targets of Net Zero by 2045 and 2050, respectively. This means the way we currently manufacture everything must change. This includes the manufacturing of everyday household goods derived from chemicals. These changes come with both opportunities and challenges which will be explored during this session. This panel includes speakers from innovative chemical companies from across the manufacturing supply chain. The session will discuss the products that can be developed, the alternative feedstocks that can be used, and the processes which can be adopted to manufacture sustainably and reach Net Zero goals.
