Plant Based Summit 2021

From 2-4 June 2021, the 6th edition of the Plant Based Summit will be held in Reims, France.

This edition focusses on stimulating biobased product development through a market-driven approach, with particular attention for innovation, co-development and operational implementation in the following markets: home and personal care, pharmaceuticals, construction, packaging, transportation, coating, adhesives, detergence, textile, as well as a dedicated cross-market stream on biobased solutions for infants and kids (toys, cosmetics, etc.).

The event includes 30 targeted conferences with more than 100 international speakers providing first-hand insights and updates, one-to-one business meetings with majors actors from the biobased market, an exhibition zone with 50 stands featuring manufacturers, start-ups, chemists, clusters, regions, development agencies and hundreds of professionals from across the biobased chemical industry value chain, and finally visits to major French industrial (or research laboratory) sites. In short, the Plant Based Summit is the ideal opportunity for participants to contribute to the evolution of plant-based, green and sustainable chemistry!

BIOKET 2021

Biomass is a wonderful resource. It can be transformed into chemicals, biobased materials, food and feed ingredients, or energy. Yet, the adaption and optimisation of transformation processes and technologies to valorise all biomass fractions in a circular approach remains a challenge.

In the context of Industry 4.0, Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) provide the basis for innovation in a range of products across all industrial sectors. They underpin the shift to a greener economy, are instrumental in modernizing the industrial base, and drive the development of entirely new industries. BIOKET aims to contribute to the rise of KETs by promoting emerging KETs applied in the bioeconomy sector.

The first edition of BIOKET gathered +300 key players across the sector. The second edition, BIOKET 2021, promises to once again be an inspiring conference dedicated to processes and technologies applied to biomass. BIOKET 2021 runs online from 1-19 March 2021.

What to expect?

  • breakout sessions, innovation tours and workshops as videos-on-demand
  • digital booths to meet & exchange with exhibitors
  • virtual pre-arranged B2B meetings
  • live plenaries
  • and so much more!
