· Ideal opportunities for international chemical equipment manufacturers and
process engineering
· The chemical processing industries - pacemaker for economic growth in China
· Congress with workshops and business meetings to boost cooperations
AchemAsia – International Exhibition-Congress on Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology will take place for the sixth time in Beijing/PR China from 11 to 15 May 2004. Since the first event in 1989 it has become the foremost exhibition in Asia for the chemical processing industries, plant engineers and technology suppliers. The international character of AchemAsia makes it the key event of its kind in China and, therefore, of special significance for the Chinese economy.
While the rest of the world is still undergoing a recession, the economy and trade in the Middle Kingdom are booming. China continues to attract the highest direct investment: in 2002 alone foreign companies invested 53 billion US dollars in this market; for 2003 foreign investment is forecast to exceed 60 billion US dollars. China now ranks as the world’s sixth largest export nation and is an importer and investor to be reckoned with.
The plant and equipment industries are currently profiting from the favourable economic climate. In the priority sectors set by the Chinese economy, the chemical industry, pharmaceutical engineering, petrochemistry, food technology, biotechnology and environmental protection, there is an serious need for equipment, technologies and know-how. Against this background AchemAsia 2004 provides an ideal show case for the equipment sector and an ideal opportunity for establishing and consolidating contacts and collaborative ventures in the fast-track economic region of China. AchemAsia 2004 is anticipated to attract over 400 exhibitors from exhibitors from about 25 countries and some 20,000 visitors.
AchemAsia – exhibition and congress in tune with the Asian market
China is paving its way to become a global industrial player by backing high technology, technology transfer, modernisation and the expansion of existing production capacity. This is opening up tremendous opportunities not only for large international companies, but also for smaller and medium-sized companies and service providers in this growth market. The AchemAsia exhibition and congress have been tailored to fit this favourable business climate.
The main thrusts of the exhibition profile
The main thrusts of the exhibition are chemical apparatus and plant construction, process technology, petrochemistry, maintenance and quality assurance, environmental protection, water treatment, pharmaceutical technology, biotechnology, the food industry, agrochemistry, laboratory and analytical techniques, packaging and storage techniques.
The congress – a blend of practice-oriented workshops and business meetings
Once again a congress will complement the comprehensive exhibition. The congress will present the latest, application-oriented research results from the following sectors: pharmaceutical engineering, separation technology, biotechnology, environmental technology and water treatment. Furthermore there will be specific meetings on topics, such as sustainable water management for industry and municipalities, clean energy conversion (gasification of coal and biomass, synthetic fuels and petrochemicals from syngas, low- emission energy production), modern plant engineering for pharma production. Workshops with high-ranking representatives from industry, research and management will provide an opportunity to discuss current trends and opportunities for cooperations.
Organiser backed by diverse partners
The event organiser, DECHEMA (Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Germany), is preparing for AchemAsia in close cooperation with an impressive number of Chinese and international partners. With CIESC (Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China) as the co-organiser and diverse supporting institutions, such as CCATA (China Chemical Anticorrosion Technology Association), CCPIT-CIEC (China Council for the Promotion of International Trade - China International Exhibition Centre), CAST (China Association for Science and Technology, China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, SINOPEC China Petro-Chemical Corporation, CPI Chemical Planning Institute, CITIC China International Trust and Investment Corporation, Chinese ministeries and around 20 further eminent technical organisations from Asia and the whole world, the success of AchemAsia 2004 is a foregone conclusion.
