Impressive program We have an impressive program this year, with presentations from small companies to large brand manufacturers showcasing the latest innovation in renewable aromatics. A panel of experts will discuss the impact of bio-aromatics on the global chemical industry - a conversation you won't want to miss! Open to all companies that represent the bio-aromatics value chain Contrary to the last four editions, we decided to celebrate our 5th anniversary with an event that is open to all companies that represent the bio-aromatics value chain (agro/feedstock, producer, consumer, brand owner). If you represent such a company, you are cordially invited to participate. Other stakeholders (technology/service/knowledge, government, other) can also apply for a seat at this exclusive event. To ensure a good balance between participants and thus facilitate effective networking during the matchmaking sessions we will manually evaluate each application. Biorizon would like to thank Covestro, Biopen & Vanguard for sponsoring this event. More info & registration: https://biorizon-annual-event.b2match.io/ We hope to see you in Den Bosch!
