Theevent with the attendant exhibition will bring togetherexperts from leading companies and newcomers.Representatives of political bodies and associations willalso have their say alongside leading companies. Due tothe great succes and for a second time the conferencewill count with a third day especially dedicated to startups with groundbreaking innovations.The 8th International Conference on Bio-based Materials(“Biowerkstoff-Kongress”) builds on successful previousconferences: 250 participants and 30 exhibitors frommore than 20 countries, mainly from industry, areexpected!Innovation Award“Bio-based Material of the Year 2015”For the eighth year running, the Innovation Award “Biobased Material of the Year” will be awarded to the young,innovative bio-based chemicals and materials industry,finding suitable applications and markets for bio-basedproducts. The competition focuses on new developmentsin these areas, which have had (or will have) a marketlaunch in 2014 and 2015, exclusively coming from Europeand US this time round.www.biowerkstoffkongress.de/awardWageningen UniversityChristiaan Bolcknova-Institut GmbH – Chemiepark Knapsack – Industriestr. 300 – 50354 Huerth – Germany
