From Brno to Boston – How our technology is getting out into the world
One of the oldest and most important cities in the United States, Boston, is not only a centre of academic and technological progress, but also an ideal location for international trade fairs. Every year, it hosts major events that connect science, innovation and business. This year, Pittcon 2025 is taking place here - a prestigious conference focused on laboratory technology, analytical chemistry and applied research, which attracts experts, researchers and companies from all over the world.
Brno and Boston: Cities of Innovation
Although it may seem that Brno and Boston have little in common, in reality, they are both united by a strong academic and technological tradition. While Boston is home to world-renowned universities such as MIT and Harvard, Brno has become a hub for technological innovations and the development of cutting-edge laboratory equipment. It is here, in our manufacturing halls, that devices are created which help scientists around the world analyse material composition, research new drugs, or control food quality.
USA and South America
The United States is still a leader in research and development despite global challenges. Innovations in analytical chemistry and laboratory diagnostics have a major impact on the pharmaceutical, food and environmental sectors. On the other hand, South America is undergoing dynamic development, especially in the mining and processing industry, where the demand for quality analytical instruments is growing.
Key Market Interconnection
In less than three days of the conference, in addition to the official visit from the ICRC/MUNI PHARM in Brno dealing with the technology of growing cannabis for medical purposes, we gained at least fifteen "domestic" US contacts, typically sales representatives or even end users. But we also welcomed a similar number of existing and very promising business partners from India and Latin American countries: Honduras, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru and others.
The Pittcon 2025 trade fair offers a unique opportunity to interconnect the American and South American markets with innovations that are also emerging in Brno. Digital transformation of laboratory processes, automation and new analytical methods are the main topics of this year's event. Networking with experts and exchanging experience here is of invaluable value for companies that want to expand and innovate.
