Gaining innovation momentum through data analytics
How can data analytics help you drive professional development and deliver business objectives?
In the age of big data, IoT and Industry 4.0, is your organisation using data analytics to help counteract the challenges you face and drive momentum in a robust and scalable way?
Industries that demand a high level of product and process innovation are constantly under pressure to uncover hidden insights, drive down costs, get to market faster than the competition, and then continually improve products.
We are bringing together key industry figures in a round table discussion. They will be exploring how businesses can empower their experts to unlock access to data hidden in existing systems and provide the right environment for effective data analytics – creating the momentum for success.

'Towards a New SusChem SIRA' Workshop: Post-Event Report
SusChem stakeholders met on 16 and 17 May in Brussels to work on the next SusChem Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA), reflecting on the new opportunities and challenges to be faced in the next European research and innovation framework programme: Horizon Europe. This SusChem SIRA-dedicated workshop brought together members of the SusChem Board, the SusChem NTPs and experts from across Industry, Academia and SMEs, to finalise the technology content of the SusChem SIRA. The SusChem community continued a process that was initiated at the SusChem Stakeholders 2018 meeting, followed by nominations of experts and two consultation rounds. The communication of the new SusChem SIRA is expected at the upcoming 2019 SusChem Stakeholder meeting on 27 November 2019.
SusChem has been working on identifying technology priorities along its three main technology pillars: Advanced Materials, Advanced Processes and enabling Digital technologies. The ‘Towards a New SusChem SIRA’ workshop was a follow up to prior consultation rounds that were initiated after the SusChem 2018 Stakeholders meeting. The new SIRA will reflect on the overall strategy and role of Sustainable Chemistry and Industrial Biotechnology in boosting innovation in Europe and tackling global challenges, in the context of Horizon Europe.
