Feel the Chemistry - Sustainability Challenge
What role can science & innovation play in solving today’s global challenges? Celebrating 80 years of science & innovation, all tenants at Brightlands Chemelot Campus have joined forces to organize a Challenge Trilogy: a special series of three festive events, designed to challenge the campus community to develop a better future.
When bright minds meet, brilliant ideas come to life. That’s what we call chemistry! It’s what the world needs now, more than ever. You are cordially invited to attend the Challenge Trilogy and Festival 'Feel the Chemistry' to reflect on global challenges and the role science and innovation play in solving them with frontrunners from within and outside of our campus community.
We guarantee you will feel the chemistry!
On October 8th, three campus tenants will share their vision on sustainability in a pitch to be challenged by the audience, including an interactive panel with startups and experts.
Sustainability is on the minds of many. Companies talk about it and consumers want to contribute to it. But how many really do? And are they addressing the issue successfully? Take a look inside three international corporations, located at Brightlands Chemelot Campus, that will share their roadmap to sustainability.
- What is their vision?
- What do they think needs to happen to realize a truly sustainable future for our planet and all who inhabit it?
- And how important is collaboration to achieving this goal?
