Chemical Industry

No doubt Chemicals is a highly complex and dynamic market, with an expected annual growth rate close to 5% between 2020-25. More than ever, we live through transformational times, driven by unprecedented disruptive events and the overall trends in society and markets.

Some key questions require urgent answers and significant transformational efforts:

How to best respond to higher ESG goals and requirements and turn sustainability into a competitive advantage?
How to deal with complex value chains and increase our resilience amidst disruptions?
How to make the best use of opportunities arising from digital solutions like robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning in a chemical process environment?
How to continue and even accelerate the continuous improvement initiatives to stay competitive?
How to deal with the demographic developments and the expected loss of experience and knowledge over the coming years?
How to make sure that we manage to keep our organisations connected and coming along in face of transformations coming on to us/how to protect organizational health?
