Welcome Message from the Chairmen

Welcome to AI for the Process Industries

On behalf of La Société des Experts Chimistes de France (SECF) and Université Paris Dauphine, we are pleased to invite you to the international congress AI for the Process Industries.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the way processes are designed, optimized, and translated into innovative products across the process industries. From chemical and biochemical processes to advanced manufacturing and product development, AI is becoming a key enabler for efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness.

This congress has been established as a dedicated platform bringing together industrial experts, academics, technology providers, and decision-makers to explore how AI can be effectively applied in industrial and biotechnological process and product development. The program emphasizes practical applications, industrial case studies, and strategic perspectives, complemented by scientific and methodological insights.

AI for the Process Industries aims to bridge disciplines and communities. It connects chemical engineering, process engineering, biotechnology, and data science, while addressing the full pathway from process conception and scale-up to production and product realization. Particular attention is given to challenges related to implementation, validation, regulatory environments, and long-term value creation.

With its international scope and the combined expertise of SECF and Université Paris Dauphine, the congress offers a forum for knowledge exchange, dialogue, and the development of sustainable collaborations across sectors and regions.

We warmly invite you to participate, share your experience, and contribute to discussions that will shape the future of AI-enabled process industries.

We look forward to welcoming you.
