Our Partners
Chem-Match is a joint event from Enterprise Europe Network Hessen (Hessen Trade & Invest GmbH), CIEX Europe, Industriepark Höchst, 5-HT Digital Hub Chemistry & Health and the European IP Helpdesk.
CIEX Europe
CIEX – The Chemical Innovation Exchange blows the dust off stuffy conferences. It provides you with a fresh channel to explore cutting edge innovation in the rapidly evolving chemical industry. Connecting innovators with investors, potential customers and budget holders, we enable our delegates to share, collaborate, explore and experiment.
The CIEX Europe 2020 conference is organized by Merlien Institute, a dynamic publishing and events company for research and innovation. Established in 2008 Merlien runs conferences across the world and has hosted thousands of delegates.
The CIEX advisory board provides strategic advise to Merlien Institute and the conference production committee on the range of activities undertaken. The role of the Advisory Board is very important to us as they provide invaluable feedback and guidance to speakers and help steer speaker’s presentation content to the required standards and relevance. Aside from reviewing submitted abstracts, our Advisory Board also contributes to keynote speeches, chairing sessions, facilitating panel discussions or conduct brainstorming workshops.
European IP Helpdesk
A first-line intellectual property (IP) service providing free-of-charge support to help European SMEs and beneficiaries of EU-funded research projects manage their IP in the context of transnational business or EU research and innovation programmes.
The European IP Helpdesk supports European SMEs and research teams involved in cross-border business and/or EU-funded research activities manage, disseminate and valorise their IP. Offering a broad range of informative material, a Helpline service for direct IP support as well as on-site and online training, our main goal is to support IP capacity building along the full scale of IP practices: from awareness to strategic use and successful exploitation.

5-HT Digital Hub Chemistry & Health
The Digital Hub Mannheim/Ludwigshafen was selected by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy to be Germany’s Digital Hub for Chemistry & Health. The hub acts as platform to connect promising startups with investors and corporates from the chemical and health industry. Since the first startup bootcamp 5-HT X-linker in May 2019 when the hub connected 12 national and international startups with chemical and pharma companies like BASF, Merck, Roche, Evonik and more, the hub has organized several programs and events to successfully match relevant players in chemistry and pharma with promising global startups.
The mandate of the Digital Hub is to establish a global hotspot for chemistry and health startups by forming a platform to smoothen collaborations between corporates and startups. The Digital Hub was founded in 2018 and is open to further onboard corporates to participate from the ecosystem.
