Albert Invent recently exhibited at our first conference abroad: the European Coatings Show (ECS). Held in Nuremberg, Germany, ECS is the leading global conference for the coatings industry, with this year’s event hosting over 25,000 attendees. We had a steady stream of visitors to our booth and spoke with chemists, managers, procurement teams, and CTOs about their digital priorities and major challenges facing the industry. Several key themes emerged from these conversations: change management, sustainability and regulatory pressures, and how to drive innovation.
