Preface

ACHEMA is the meeting hub for the chemistry, pharma, and F&B production-related sectors. It is where professionals learn about the latest challenges, innovations, and trends. It also serves as one of the largest buying platforms in Europe for the three industries and occurs every three years.

ACHEMA is hosted at Messe Frankfurt in Germany in early June. It attracts a diverse audience, including engineers, lab assistants, commercial staff, forepeople, and technicians. Additionally, physicists, chemists, trainees, students, and academics attend the trade show. So do entrepreneurs and innovators. Material developers, technology/automation providers and lab equipment/processing components producers also take part. Furthermore, attendants include R&D specialists and members of the optics sector.

Because of its importance, ACHEMA receives a high number of participants. For instance, its editions often receive approximately 150 000 attendants. One edition, for example, received 145 000 trade visitants and around 3 700 exhibitor firms. Many nations attend ACHEMA, including the United States, the Commonwealth of Australia, India, Mexico, the People’s Republic of China, and Spain. Such participating nations comprise 54% of the participant group. A notable detail about the event is that 76% of the attending are highly pleased with their attendance.
