First digital European Chemistry Partnering: 3rd ECP Summer Summit on September 17 – 18, 2020

With his company Hydrogenious, Teichmann has developed a technology to bind hydrogen in a liquid so that it can be transported safely over long distances. In 2014, his company won the Science4Life Venture Cup. In 2018, Teichmann and his two doctoral supervisors, Prof. Peter Wasserscheidt and Prof. Wolfgang Arlt, were nominated for the German Future Prize 2018 for the development of this key technology.

The panel discussion "Sustainability: How does our financial ecosystem influence innovations in the chemical industry?" will address the need for innovation with regard to global challenges such as population growth, climate change and the coronavirus. Among others, Florian Theyermann, Director of FCF Fox Corporate Finance GmbH, and Kristina Jeromin, Head of Group Sustainability of Deutsche Börse Group and Deputy Chair of the Advisory Council for Sustainable Finance of the German Government will discuss the topic.

Furthermore, ORONTEC GmbH & Co. KG will present the issue "Sustainability in the coating industry" with the support of several partner companies. A workshop will be organized in a World Café format: 4 moderated groups will be formed for 4 main topics, between which the participants can switch back and forth.

Dr. Holger Bengs, CEO of BCNP Consultants GmbH and initiator of the European Chemistry Partnering: "For two years we have been working on a digital version of ECP to bring together creative people worldwide. During the lockdown, we immediately started to implement this idea. This ECP is more international than ever. The formats are the same, only digital. And networking with ‚the guy with the orange tie‘ and meetings at the virtual coffee machine are also possible. We are very excited about the growing chemical community."
