The conference will explore how advanced AI tools and applications are accelerating the transition towards a circular and sustainable chemical and materials industry by unlocking the full potential of renewable carbon from biomass, carbon capture utilisation (CCU) and recycling.

Featuring top experts in AI development, chemical and plastics manufacturing, biotechnology, agriculture, recycling and sustainability, this interdisciplinary event will explore the latest developments in the field. Whether you are a data scientist working on new industrial applications, a materials professional looking for practical tools, or part of the management or investment community looking to understand strategic and financial opportunities, this conference will provide you with actionable insights, valuable use cases and collaborative opportunities.

The conference will bring together all relevant stakeholders to discuss the need for AI solutions in a circular economy in the chemistry and materials sector and to match these needs with technical solutions from scientists and developers.

There will be sessions on: 

• Digital foundations for circular transformation
• Smart production and industrial efficiency
• Advanced materials, chemical intelligence and recycling pathways
• Intelligent resource flows, market dynamics and investment
• Societal integration, bioeconomy and future horizons

They are calling for posters: the deadline is 28 January.

This event will take place on 4–5 March in Cologne, Germany and online. Buy your ticket and see the programme.
