Industrial Green Chemistry World

 


Industrial Green Chemistry World (IGCW) 
IGCW is an industrial initiative for bringing together the chemical industry to collectively expand its awareness on environmentally benign manufacturing practices and technologies. IGCW aims to go beyond the theoretical understanding of ‘green’ chemistry & engineering, and attempt to bring forth technical know-how of green chemistry applications from laboratories to industry. The focus of IGCW is to recognize emerging global trends in the direction of prioritizing sustainability and environmental safety with a commitment towards triple bottom-line benefits of Profit, Society and Sustainable planet.

This December, the GCF along with the other committed partners and supporters will be hosting the 3rd IGCW-2013 Convention & Ecosystem, with additional dimensions to incorporate the increasing need of awareness on specific technologies and its applications from the sustainability viewpoint.

The key Industrial sectors impacted though the IGCW-2013 Convention are:

  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Agro-chemicals
  • Dyes & pigments
  • Fine & specialty chemicals

IGCW-2013, as a platform will facilitate various opportunities for both the green chemistry based solution seekers (i.e the Industry audience) as well as the green chemistry based solution providers (i.e: the Technology leader companies, Start-up and Technocrats, Academia, Research Institutes and Govt. bodies), by providing a tangible platform to get them connected for collaborative partnerships.

Day 1 of IGCW-2013 Convention is for Chairman, Board of Directors, Founders, Presidents, CEOs and other Senior decision makers. 

Day 2 is for the R&D and Technology Personnel such as Presidents & VPs, CTOs, CSOs, R&D Managers, Inventors, Innovators, Consultants, Technocrats 

Day 3 is for the Operations and Production Personnel- Directors, Presidents, VPs. Plant Managers, EHS Managers

IGCW-2013 will provide networking opportunities to interact with global experts, industrial experts, thought leaders, key decision makers, senior officials from government & regulatory bodies and renowned scientists.
