ACHEMA Congress
More International, More Topics
Dr. Andreas Förster, Executive Director, DECHEMA Gesell -
schaft für Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V.
provides some insights into this year's ACHEMA Congress.
Please give a short overview
of the ACHEMA Congress.
Dr. Förster: The ACHEMA 2024
Congress stands for 1,000+
speakers, 200+ sessions and
up to 25 parallel tracks. It addresses
the entire range of
ACHEMA's innovation themes
and, in addition to the exhibition,
provides an insight
into the latest trends in applied
research and development. We
are expecting to see many of
these on the exhibition floor in
future ACHEMAs. The six innovation
stages will furthermore
focus on direct applications
and shine out with high-level
panel discussions and expert
talks by industry, for industry.
In addition to the close thematic
integration, the dedicated
Congress sessions are also
Dr. Andreas Förster, Executive Director, DECHEMA
closely linked to the corresponding
exhibition groups on
the exhibition grounds.

Are there any new topics this
year compared to previous
Achemas? New sessions replacing
older ones?
Dr. Förster: As ACHEMA always
addresses the latest
trends and developments in research
and application, there
isn't really the one big thing
which wasn't neither here nor
there in 2022. But of course, we
do see, for example, a shift to
more talks about biopharma
manufacturing, also an increase
in lectures about AI (artificial
intelligence) for process
industry and even more talks
about laboratories and analytics
compared to the previous
ACHEMA.
Are there any particular
trends regarding who is
presenting the papers?

Dr. Förster: Same as in the exhibition,
the Congress got more
international. We increased the
rate of international speakers
by 50 %.
Are you particularly proud of
any of the speakers for the
plenary lectures?
Dr. Förster: For each of the
ACHEMA highlight sessions we
are proud to have two thought
leaders with an industry and visionary
perspective. I don't
want to single out just one of
these amazing speakers, they
are all great and you shouldn't
miss out. But to give you just
one example that ACHEMA
goes also new routes in addressing
hot topics and new
communities: German Tech investor
Frank Thelen will speak
on Wednesday afternoon about
technology and start-ups.
Are there any sessions that
have extra-large rooms in anticipation
of a large interest?
Dr. Förster: Especially for the
congress sessions addressing
the ACHEMA innovation
themes hydrogen, green and
digital we are expecting high
demand and therefore allocated
large rooms. Of course,
not to forget the ACHEMA
Opening and our five highlight
sessions, which all take place
on our main stage in Room Europa,
just at the entrance of
Hall 4.0.
With so much going on during
the week of Achema, do
you have any advice for visitors
on how they can make
the most of their time to include
both the congress and
the exhibition?
Dr. Förster: As the Congress is
again fully integrated into the
exhibition, visitors will have
short ways between lectures
and the exhibition. To make the
most out of your time you
should use the ACHEMA mobile
app, which is a must-have
to plan and guide you through
ACHEMA.
Is there a way for visitors
that are not able to attend a
session to be able to follow
up with the authors after
the trade show?
Dr. Förster: Again, I recommend
using the app and the
matchmaking within the app.
Furthermore, the presentations
from our Innovation Stages and
the highlight sessions will be
available in the ACHEMA media
library after the show, the
Opening will also be streamed
live.
