Dr. Holger Bengs, CEO of BCNP Consultants GmbH and initiator of the European Chemistry Partnering: "For two years we have been working on a digital version of ECP to bring together creative people worldwide. During the lockdown, we immediately started to implement this idea. This ECP is more international than ever. The formats are the same, only digital. And networking with 'the guy with the orange tie' and meetings at the virtual coffee machine are also possible. We are very excited about the growing chemical community."
