Want to know how to leverage data to secure your corporate's transition towards green chemistry and white biotech, through Digital Transformation?

The 8^th edition of the International Conferences on Green Chemistry and White Biotechnologies , will eventually take place on 28 & 29 september 2022. It will be dedicated to “Digital Transformation: Innovation booster for Green Chemistry and White Biotechs”. They will be held at the Sart-Tilman University Campus, under the auspices of ULiège.

Everyone agrees that data is not an option if you want to successfully meet the challenges posed by the transition to green chemistry and white biotechnology. Having said that, we will discuss why generalising the use of data in the plant is key but remains itself a challenge. We will also explore, through real use cases, how to overcome this challenge and make data a daily lever to improve plant performance.

Mathieu CURA co-founded OPTIMISTIK in 2015 with Marouane HASSANI and Jean-François HENON, with the vision to empower operational teams by simplifying the use of data in the plant. He has a strong industrial background with 15 years spent in management positions in large process plants and in the energy sector. All along his career, he demonstrated commitment to improve industrial performance by leveraging advanced production technologies. This is especially the case at OPTIMISTIK where industrial knowledge combined with astute data management can deliver new approaches for process manufacturing industries.

About the Conferences...

The purpose of the conferences is to screen the digital technology used to boost activities in the fields of green chemistry and white biotechnology around the world, to share knowledge and encourage the creation of new R&D projects in the sector at regional and international scale.

The first day, on 28 September, will focus on Digital Transition while the second one, on 29 September, will focus on Artificial Intelligence. Both days will be animated by Ms. Tieneke VAN HOOLAND from Bio.be by essenscia.
