CLIB-Webinar „Scaling Bioprocesses: Turning Lab Success into Industrial Reality ”
2026-09-28 10:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Digital
Join our next CLIB-Webinar “Scaling Bioprocesses: Turning Lab Success into Industrial Reality”. As promising innovations move from laboratory research to industrial application, the ability to successfully scale processes becomes a critical factor for their economic and technical viability.
This webinar will focus on the key challenges associated with scale-up projects and explore how processes can be effectively transferred to industrial scale. We will highlight the important role of universities and research institutions in supporting innovation and bridging the gap between fundamental research and industrial implementation.
In addition, we will discuss the close relationship between process development and scale-up, examining current challenges, emerging trends, and best practices. A special emphasis will be placed on how laboratory-scale studies can be designed to generate relevant data and insights, enabling more informed decisions and reducing risks during later stages of scale-up.
You can look forward to valuable insights into the strategies and considerations that drive successful bioprocess scale-up.

Baesweiler Biotec-Meeting: Smart Bio-Manufacturing: From Digitalisation and Automation to AI
2026-11-27 09:00 - 15:00 | Internationales Technologie- und Service-Center Baesweiler (its), Arnold-Sommerfeld-Ring 2, Baesweiler, Nordrhein-Westfalen, 52499
This event will be in German.
What is it about?
Biotechnology is increasingly transforming industrial production through data-driven development, automation and artificial intelligence. Advanced computational methods already support the rapid design of innovative proteins, creating new value across both biotechnology and traditionally chemistry-based industries. Combined with digitalised processes and automated production systems, these technologies are shaping the future of bio-manufacturing.
This year’s event will explore the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation, automation and AI in industrial biotechnology, featuring insights from industry experts and applied research. As a hub for biotech start-ups and companies, its Baesweiler offers an engaging programme of presentations alongside valuable networking opportunities.
Participation
Attendees can look forward to inspiring talks and discussions. Companies, universities and institutions are invited to showcase their technologies and services through posters or exhibition displays. Exhibition space is available for €40 (net).
More information soon.

CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2027
2027-04-21 - 2027-04-23
The CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference has successfully established itself as an international and unique meeting and networking ground for the entire Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The upcoming 15th edition of the conference will take place on 21–22 April 2027, Cologne, Germany as a hybrid event. Organiser nova-Institute expects over 230 leading international experts in the field of CCU, green hydrogen production and Power-to-X. Once more the event will showcase the latest innovations and most important developments in the fast-growing field of Carbon Capture and Utilisation with plenty of opportunities to network.

A milestone for the enforcement of CCU was reached on 28 June 2024 when the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament published the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) in their Official Journal. The act finally acknowledges CO2 utilisation as an eligible strategic net zero technology, hereby providing an official reference and foundation to support and encourage the deployment of clean technology, such as CCU throughout Europe. With a current capacity of over 1.5 million tonnes for CO2-based products and steadily growing demand, CCU technologies are helping to establish CO2 as a renewable carbon feedstock, highlighting the urgency of investment and innovation in this field.
