BIO.NRW Establishes the Marketplace of Innovations
The industrial sector is facing enormous challenges as it has to reduce fossil fuels and establish circular processes, all the while remaining profitable. The Greener Manufacturing Show (GMS) sustainability event promises to address this issue and offers more than 250 enterprises from various branches of industry the opportunity to present their innovative solutions for resource-conserving manufacturing processes as well as sustainable products and services. On 8 and 9 November, more than 4,000 decision makers and enterprise representatives will come to the GMS in Cologne to discuss the topic of sustainability in industry.
BIO.NRW is the official event partner and its large theme world “Marketplace of Innovations” will provide visitors with the opportunity for networking and the exchanging of ideas. You can look forward to a variety of exhibiting enterprises, a diverse workshop programme, and the unique BioökonomieMOBIL tiny house, all of which will demonstrate what North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) has to offer in the fields of bioeconomy and biotechnology. Visit us in Cologne and meet our experts on the Marketplace of Innovations.
