Because Clariant has a strong specialisation in biotechnological processes. It is the world leader in second generation biofuels with its sunliquid technology, turning agricultural waste materials into fuels and chemicals.  So, everyone who is proficient at working with enzymes should listen up

In the  afternoon  we will enjoy a panel discussion HMGU with a range of experts from different fields.
