How can green chemistry principles reshape the contours of industrial development and ecological responsibility in Southeast Asia?

This seminar, is held by the Global Greenchem Innovation & Network Programme Indonesia, seeks to engage this question by fostering a deeper integration between scientific innovation and sustainable industrial practice. Hosted in Surabaya following the inaugural 2024 event in Jakarta, the forum convenes academia, policymakers, and industry leaders to critically explore how green chemistry can catalyze sustainable transformation across East Java’s industrial landscape. With a focus on experiential learning and interdisciplinary exchange, the seminar examines practical approaches to embedding sustainability into chemical manufacturing, highlights collaborative models between academia and industry, and envisions a future where environmentally conscious design becomes central to industrial excellence. Through keynotes, training sessions, and networking, this event contributes to a broader conversation on ecological stewardship and the role of chemistry in crafting a more resilient and regenerative industrial future.
