The next Ilmac begins on 21 September 2010 in Basel. Over four days the entire range of products and services relating to research, development, production and environmental technology will be on display. Ilmac takes place every three years and is Switzerland’s most important industry exhibition for all manufacturers and suppliers to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The interim results are looking positive, as around 300 exhibitors have already registered. It will be reinforcing its reputation as the most significant industry event in Switzerland and the surrounding regions. With 15,000 visitors and more than 550 exhibitors over an area of 36,000 m2, Ilmac is the major exhibition in the industry. At Ilmac 2007, 31% of visitors came from Switzerland’s neighbouring countries.
Around six months before the exhibition starts, there is already great interest among suppliers. Almost all the leading companies in the industry have already registered to take part. A
With its high concentration of pharmaceutical and chemical companies and its proximity to rapidly developing biotech regions in Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel is the ideal location. Suppliers of equipment, apparatus and machinery for laboratories, analysis, biotechnology, IT, engineering, environmental and process technology will have direct access to customers from the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, food, drinks, cosmetics and environmental engineering industries.
Once again in 2010, Ilmac is accompanied by a varied scientific forum which is tailored to the interests of visitors. It will be organised by the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS) and goes under the title “From Nylon to Nanomaterials: Future Trends in Polymers”. There will be presentations covering current research fields and the economic importance of polymers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The forum consists of a two-day scientific conference, a schools day and a careers day for students.
MipTec, the leading annual drug discovery event in Europe, organised by Congrex Schweiz, will be held in parallel with Ilmac and in the same building for the first time this year. The specialist accompanying exhibition with almost 100 suppliers over an area of 800 m² is fully integrated and open to Ilmac visitors at no extra charge. At the same time, the BioValley Life Sciences Week will be taking place, which includes a varied programme of activities.
Endress+Hauser one of the leading suppliers of industrial measurement equipment is supporting Ilmac 2010 as its official presenting partner.
