Europe’s Starch Industry Leaders Convene in Düsseldorf for the 9th EU Starch Value Chain & Fermentation Conference

9th EU Starch Value Chain & Fermentation 13-15 Oct

DüSSELDORF, GERMANY, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Centre for Management Technology (CMT) is pleased to announce the 9th EU Starch Value Chain & Fermentation Conference, taking place from 13-15 October 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Bringing together leading stakeholders from across the starch, fermentation and bioprocessing sectors, the event will explore the latest market developments, technological innovations and growth opportunities shaping Europe’s evolving bioeconomy.

As the industry navigates changing trade patterns, sustainability requirements and increasing demand for bio-based solutions, the conference provides a vital platform for producers, ingredient manufacturers, technology providers, researchers, and end-users to exchange insights and identify new pathways for value creation. Discussions will focus on optimizing the starch value chain, improving operational efficiency, and advancing the role of starch and fermentation technologies in food, industrial, and bio-based applications.

The conference features discussions on plant protein innovation, dietary fibre opportunities, starch-derived materials, feedstock utilization, and the valorization of side streams and waste streams. Delegates will also gain insights into advances in microbial and enzymatic fermentation technologies, and their growing role in producing higher-value ingredients, specialty chemicals and sustainable materials that support Europe’s circular bioeconomy ambitions.

A major highlight of the event is the optional pre-conference visit to the Jäckering Wheat Mill & Starch Plant. The visit offers participants first-hand exposure to industrial-scale wheat starch and vital wheat protein production at the facilities of Associate Sponsor Jäckering Group, while providing valuable insights into operational excellence and process innovation. Delegates can also join the Starch Technology & Networking Evening, creating additional opportunities to engage with industry peers and technology experts in an informal setting.

The conference boasts strong support from industry organizations and technology leaders across the starch and fermentation value chain. Starch Europe joins as Supporting Organization, further strengthening the event's position as a leading forum for knowledge exchange and industry collaboration. Novonesis, a global leader in biosolutions and enzyme technologies, contributes as Networking Reception Sponsor. Event’s Associate Sponsor Jäckering Group further strengthens the conference with its expertise in wheat starch, wheat protein, mechanical engineering, and thermoplastics processing. The Pre-Event Networking Reception is supported by GEA, VetterTec and Krettek Separation, companies recognized globally for their process engineering, drying and separation technologies.

Complementing the conference is a growing exhibition showcasing technologies and solutions for starch processing, fermentation, filtration, drying, separation, and process optimization. The exhibition will feature solutions from ANDRITZ, F.A. SCHMIDT, HYDROAIR / GMM Pfaudler, BHS Sonthofen, Foodera Technologies, STAMEX, plus participating sponsor and partner companies including GEA, VetterTec and Novonesis. Together, these organizations represent a broad spectrum of expertise supporting innovation, productivity and sustainability across the wider starch and bio-based industries.
