Synopsis
This is the second 2-day workshop organised by the Formulation Forum after the highly successful inaugural event in January 2018. Disruptive innovations can bring rewards to early uptakers and penalties to slow uptakers. But what is a disruptive technology and how do you spot the new disruptive technologies from the distractions of novelties and niches? How to extrapolate what is happening in other fields of science and technology into your field and ultimately formulation? What opportunities will AI in formulation optimisation and design allow for faster development of formulated products through prediction?
New capabilities of technological hardware will change the way formulations are used in the future and how will formulations need to be adapted to work with the technology? How can formulations be tailored to the needs of individuals? How do you identify new science coming from academia which could be the seed for the disruptive forces affecting formulation on the horizon? Join us in January to be part of this thought-provoking event and discussions.
Attendees
Formulation Forum events are equally open to major companies, SME’s, academics and students from all areas, including scientists, engineers, patent attorneys, marketing experts and business managers with an interest in formulation innovation and science. For students and academics this is a unique opportunity to learn about some of the fascinating opportunities arising in formulation.
