Innovation is widely recognized as crucial for business growth, yet it’s often seen narrowly as the creation of new products, especially outside traditional fields like the chemical process industries (CPI). Unlike the fast-evolving tech sector, CPI innovations in areas like plant design, scale-up, and materials development—essential to advances in electronics, food, energy, and water—often remain unseen. For CPI companies, innovation must extend beyond conventional R&D to improve customer experience, optimize processes, and engage talent, enhancing competitiveness without large capital outlays. As CPI embraces technologies like the IIoT, big data, and robotics, chemical engineers are uniquely positioned to address global challenges sustainably, ensuring resources for future generations.
