By 2050, we will have transitioned to a circular and carbon neutral process industry. Together!

We believe that radical change can be achieved through technological innovation and cooperation. As an active and open innovation platform for sustainable process technology we connect stakeholders from different sectors and disciplines. At ISPT, industry, SMEs, scientists and governmental bodies find the inspirational and trusted environment where they can optimally work together to stimulate breakthrough innovations.
