Since its premičre in 1989, AchemAsia International Exhibition Congress on Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology has developed into the most comprehensive event for the chemical process industries in South-East Asia. Held in a three-year cycle in Beijing, the AchemAsia will now be rounded off by the AchemAsia Satellite Symposium. This Symposium will be staged concurrently with INTERKAMA ASIA 2005 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai/PR China on 29 November 2005.

The focal topic of the AchemAsia Symposium, “Automation Solutions for Biotechnology”, will generate considerable benefits for exhibitors at INTERKAMA ASIA and at the next AchemAsia in May 2007 since it will address an issue of special importance for the Shanghai region. Experts from German and Chinese automation technology suppliers will present the latest developments and experience in this key technology of biotechnology. The symposium aims to bring together decision-makers and specialists in the very promising field of biotechnology laboratory and process automation.

AchemAsia in Beijing and the AchemAsia Satellite Symposium in Shanghai are organized by DECHEMA – Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Frankfurt am Main, whose ACHEMA worldwide concept provides a platform for equipment suppliers of the chemical industry and all branches of the processing industry in the three foremost economic regions, the EU, the Far East and North America.
