M\u00e4rz 2026 in K\u00f6ln und online statt. Auf der Veranstaltung kommen f\u00fchrende Experten aus den Bereichen KI-Entwicklung, chemische Produktion, Recycling, Materialwissenschaften, Biotechnologie und Finanzierung zusammen, um zu er\u00f6rtern, wie k\u00fcnstliche Intelligenz den \u00dcbergang zu zirkul\u00e4ren und nachhaltigen Materialsystemen gestalten kann. Auf der diesj\u00e4hrigen Konferenz werden 26 hochkar\u00e4tige Vortr\u00e4ge von Referenten aus 12 L\u00e4ndern gehalten. In der Er\u00f6ffnungsrede des nova-Instituts wird die strategische Relevanz des Einsatzes k\u00fcnstlicher Intelligenz an der Schnittstelle zwischen erneuerbaren Kohlenstoffen beleuchtet und neue Wege sowie zuk\u00fcnftige Herausforderungen auf dem Weg zur Nachhaltigkeit aufgezeigt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>K\u00fcnstliche Intelligenz erschlie\u00dft das enorme Potenzial der Kreislaufwirtschaft und der Sektoren f\u00fcr erneuerbare Kohlenstoffe. Sie macht Prozesse, Materialien und Gesch\u00e4ftsmodelle entlang der gesamten Wertsch\u00f6pfungskette \u2013 von der Rohstoffinnovation bis zur Wiederverwendung \u2013 intelligenter und effizienter. Zu den Themen geh\u00f6ren unter anderem Transparenz und R\u00fcckverfolgbarkeit (digitale P\u00e4sse), KI-gesteuertes Molek\u00fcldesign, Prozesssteuerung f\u00fcr die Depolymerisation, Lieferkettenmanagement und Nachhaltigkeitsbewertungen. Da die Gesellschaft einen raschen Wandel fordert, kann KI wichtige Instrumente zur Steigerung der Nutzung und Produktion von erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff aus Biomasse, Recycling und Kohlenstoffabscheidung und -nutzung liefern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Das Programm: F\u00fcnf Thematische Bl\u00f6cke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Teilnehmenden haben die M\u00f6glichkeit, f\u00fchrende Pers\u00f6nlichkeiten renommierter Unternehmen wie Covestro, Volkswagen, Schneider Electric und TOMRA, bahnbrechende Start-ups wie ExoMatter und VCG.AI sowie weltweit f\u00fchrende Forschungseinrichtungen wie die RWTH Aachen, TNO und die University of Delaware kennenzulernen. Das Programm ist in f\u00fcnf Themenbl\u00f6cke gegliedert, die die Vielfalt und Wirkung von KI-Anwendungen in den Bereichen digitale Zwillinge, Prozessoptimierung, fortschrittliches Recycling, Marktanalyse und bio\u00f6konomische L\u00f6sungen aufzeigen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Er\u00f6ffnung: Gru\u00dfwort und Keynote Speech CEO Lars B\u00f6rger (nova-Institut)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In seiner Er\u00f6ffnungsrede wird Lars B\u00f6rger die Rolle der k\u00fcnstlichen Intelligenz als wichtigen Treiber f\u00fcr die erneuerbare Kohlenstoffwirtschaft beleuchten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Block 1 \u2014 Digital Foundations for Circular Transformation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session 1: Digital Twins, PINNs &amp; Process Intelligence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mexis Konstantinos, SYMBIOLABS Circular Intelligence (GR)<\/strong>: Bioreactor Digital Twins: Process Intelligence Using AI and ML<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Othen Rosario &amp; Pohlmeyer Florian, Institut f\u00fcr Textiltechnik der RWTH Aachen University (DE)<\/strong>: From Data to Decisions: Digital Twins and Data Spaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Krause Dennis, Covestro (DE): From Digital Polyurethane Processing to AI<\/strong>: Generating Insights into Production Readiness of Circular Solutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Block 2 \u2014 Smart Production &amp; Industrial Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session 2: AI-Optimised Operations in Manufacturing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Largeteau Delphine, Schneider Electric Systems Germany GmbH (DE)<\/strong>: Unlocking Digital Circularity: A Game Changer!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heuvel Flemming, ITA &#8211; Institut f\u00fcr Textiltechnik der RWTH Aachen University (DE)<\/strong>: AI-Driven Process Optimisation and Recycled Fiber Control in Paper Manufacturing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>N.N., FINDIQ GmbH (DE)<\/strong>: Producing Efficiently and Empowering Tomorrow&#8217;s Skilled Workers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Block 3 \u2014 Advanced Materials, Chemical Intelligence &amp; Recycling Pathways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session 3A: AI for Sustainable Materials Discovery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lotfi Samira, National Research Council of Canada (CA)<\/strong>: Catalyst Design for Conversion of Syngas-to-Ethanol: A Machine Learning Approach&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aniban Xaiza, ExoMatter GmbH (DE)<\/strong>: AI-Powered Acceleration of Sustainable Materials R&amp;D<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vasudevan Naveen Kumar, Oligomaster Inc.
