Are you focusing on the Netherlands to broaden your activities in the area of sustainable and circular chemistry and materials? Do you want to know more about Dutch policies on hydrogen, green chemistry and CO2 mitigation? Please join the digital workshops of ChemistryNL. During this workshop insights will be presented of doing business and innovation in the Netherlands.
Japan and the Netherlands face similar challenges regarding a sustainable industry. Both countries have the same base chemistry, will become a net import country for green hydrogen and have a large potential in offshore energy. Many focus areas in the relations between Japan and the Netherlands are relevant: circular advanced materials and processes, hydrogen, biobased chemistry, plastics recycling, chemistry for food and pharma and critical materials.
These focus areas give opportunities for innovative companies and research institutes in both countries. Prior to the World Expo in Osaka, ChemistryNL organizes two digital workshops to explore future cooperations for Japanese and Dutch companies and knowledge institutes, ahead of future trade and innovation missions and bilateral partner programmes.
Target group
Japanese startups, scaleups, SMEs, larger companies and knowledge institutes in the field of chemistry, with a special interest in the Netherlands.
