Growth & Expansion Strategies
From Molecule to Market: Embedding Sustainability into Speciality Formulation
How can sustainability be integrated at the molecular design stage without compromising performance or regulatory compliance? This roundtable explores green chemistry, bio-based substitutions, reformulation risk, and balancing durability vs. degradability. Participants will share lessons from reformulation under regulatory pressure and customer carbon footprint demands.
Moderator: Tobias Kirchhoff, Managing Director, BCNP Consultants GmbH
How Can You Use Patent Data to Inform Buyer Insight and Market Understanding?
Patent data can provide a structured view of innovation activity across industries. By examining filings, citation networks, and geographic coverage, organisations can better understand where R&D investments are concentrated, which applications are evolving, and how companies are protecting their positions in key markets. Join this discussion to explore how patent analytics can support account prioritisation based on portfolios, clarify R&D and commercial focus across regions, and provide context for competitive benchmarking.
Moderator: Dr. Silvan Berg, Head of Customer Success EMEA, Lexis Nexis
Decarbonizing Energy-Intensive Processes in Fine Chemicals
Energy intensity remains a core challenge. This session explores process innovation (continuous manufacturing, catalytic pathways, solvent reduction), renewable energy procurement strategies, and how R&D and procurement can jointly drive process-level carbon reduction.
Moderator: Tobias Kirchhoff, Managing Director, BCNP Consultants GmbH
Global Compliance in Practice: Tools and Lessons Learned
This peer-led roundtable brings together functional leaders to share practical approaches for managing today’s complex regulatory landscape. Participants will explore how to design and implement structured regulatory intelligence and prioritisation tools that simplify global compliance oversight. By adopting proven frameworks and processes, attendees can learn how to reduce operational strain, focus resources on the highest-risk requirements, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of compliance teams operating across multiple trade jurisdictions.
