EUROPIC.
Facilitating PI. Enabling business. Supporting progress.
EUROPIC is a unique, industry-driven platform set up in 2009 by a coalition of major European businesses in response to the growing importance of process intensification in the design and operation of environment-friendly, safer and more cost competitive processes. Our products and services are inextricably linked with tackling specific global challenges such as: sustainability, digitalisation, manufacturing of new advanced materials and modularization. We are based in Delft (The Netherlands) with offices in Dortmund (Germany) and Toulouse (France).
Our mission
Our mission is to support members by structurally addressing the global trends and challenges facing the process/chemical industry. We do so by accelerating knowledge and technology transfer in the field of process intensification (PI) and its application in the real world.
Connecting science and business
To support and integrate the entire value chain, EUROPIC actively connects science and business in innovative application-driven research. We create interfaces between academia, end users (manufacturers), engineering companies and technology providers. The excellent knowledge infrastructure, broad network and complementary expertise of our partners ensures broad coverage of the PI field.
