Achema 2027 is regarded as one of the key international gathering places for the process industry. From June 14 to 18, 2027, experts from the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, energy, and environmental technology sectors will convene in Frankfurt am Main. Under the motto “Unleash Innovation. Accelerate Future.”, the trade fair will demonstrate how technological developments are translated into industrial applications. Every three years, the event offers a platform where innovations are not only presented but can also be experienced through direct interaction.
Achema 2027 as an International Innovation Platform
Achema combines an exhibition, a congress, and networking. Companies present solutions across the entire value chain, from research to industrial implementation. The focus is on future-oriented topics such as digitalization, sustainable production, energy efficiency, and new process technologies. At the same time, the trade fair serves as an interface between science, industry, and politics.
More Space for Process Engineering at Achema 2027
Achema 2027 is restructuring key exhibition areas. The “Pumps, Valves, and Materials Technology” group brings together related topics and will receive additional space in Halls 8.0 and 9.0. In parallel, the “#process innovation stage” will create a platform for new developments. Mechanical process engineering will also benefit from expanded exhibition space.
Energy as a Key Theme at Achema 2027
Energy supply is taking center stage. Halls 5.1 and 6.1 will showcase solutions related to hydrogen, Power-to-X, CCUS, as well as energy management and storage. The “#energy innovation stage” will serve as a central hub for technologies enabling efficient and sustainable energy supply for the process industry.
Life Sciences Industry Gains Importance
Achema is increasingly evolving into a platform for the life sciences industry. This sector has already accounted for a significant share of exhibitors and visitors in the past. With the innovation themes “#pharma” and “#lab innovation,” as well as an activity area for the digital lab, this focus will be further expanded.
Focus on Sustainability and Digitalization
Sustainable and digital innovations are among the defining themes of Achema 2027. Developments in artificial intelligence are amplifying the momentum, particularly at the intersection of these two fields. The “#green innovation stage” in Hall 6.0, as well as the “#digital innovation stage” and the Digital Hub in Hall 11.0, provide space for relevant applications and concepts.
Exchange and Networking Take Center Stage
In addition to technological topics, the focus is on personal exchange. Achema sees itself as a meeting place for decision-makers, developers, and users. Formats such as the Achema Happy Hours or the Achema Party promote informal exchange and strengthen existing networks.
Conclusion
Achema 2027 demonstrates how innovations can be implemented in the process industry. Through the combination of an exhibition, a technical program, and networking, it offers a comprehensive platform for technological and economic developments and provides impetus for industrial transformation.
