Innovation, a major axis of KIMIA AFRICA

Innovation will be highlighted throughout the different highlights of KIMIA AFRICA. TV shows, conferences and round tables will be organized throughout the trade show. They will bring together experts and players in the chemical-parachemical industry to discuss major issues, open new avenues for reflection and propose concrete solutions to the various problems in the sector. Several themes will be addressed, including the challenges and issues of recycling, the place of sustainable chemistry, etc. At the end of the trade show, the KIMIA AFRICA Trophies will reward the most innovative participating companies.
