Under the name “BRIDGESIII INTERACT: connect, converse, collaborate”, a platform was created that promotes cooperation between companies from both locations.

The event began at 16:00 with a warm welcome and welcome from Yvonne Patschke.

Markus Goldbach, CEO of Mentafy, was the first keynote speaker to start with his presentation on the development of AI learning tools for the education sector. At the same time, he highlighted the benefits and risks of AI in education.

Both subsequent keynotes focused on the development and provision of reference substances for the detection of pollutants in food packaging. Andre Stratmann, founder and only employee of ASAS Laboratory, explained the challenges he faces with his work with the otherwise so commercially unavailable 'reference products. In doing so, he explained well why his niche of rubber polymer analysis standards is so important for the market.

Dr. Martin Lommatzsch from Laboratory Lommatzsch & Säger GmbH was the next keynote speaker. He presented a wide range of services, such as classic MOSH/MOAH analysis via HPLC-GC-FID; also for food packaging. He also shared experiences from his analyses, keyword: Which products might be better off avoiding.

Last but not least, Dr. Benedikt C. Bürfent from BioEcho and Dr. Reza Esmaillie and Dr. Robin Bayer from Detechgene presented their companies.

BioEcho develops breakthrough technologies, products and workflows in the processing of nucleic acids. In downstream processes, these significantly increase throughput capacity more easily and at the same time deliver reliable results.

Detechgene specializes in simple and precise detection of pathogens. The tests developed are just as precise as a PCR analysis carried out in the laboratory. The DetechStamp and DetechChip products make it possible to use the tests all over the world and to detect a wide variety of pathogens.

BioEcho and Detechgene are working on a joint research project. Desired synergies — perfectly complemented and in the immediate vicinity at BioCampus Cologne.

The event attracted just under 30 people from both locations, creating an intimate and interactive atmosphere. There was a relaxed and interested atmosphere during the presentations, which was further reinforced by the content presented. The open and open-minded atmosphere was particularly pleasant during the subsequent get-together, which offered finger food, drinks and relaxed music.

Overall, “BRIDGES III INTERACT: connect, converse, collaborate” was a successful event that strengthened the community of the community and at the same time presented opportunities for collaboration and innovation. The relaxed and inviting atmosphere helped participants explore potential partnerships. The series will continue with BRIDGES IV on BioCampus in May.
