I just ran across this article on the future of the German Chemical Industry by VCI ww.vci.de
Some of the topics covered that I found of interest where:
- Global Changes over the next 20 years – population growth, world wide increase in technology and knowledge, the lack of resources, environmental protection, counties debt
- The Global Economy and the continued industrialization around the world
- Trends in the Chemical Industry to 2030
- The doubling of research budgets to 2030
- And the shortage of skilled labor
