Clariant, the 5 billion multinational company specialising in chemicals, is releasing a range of new functional excipients The company is a global leader in specialty chemicals and manufactures a wide range of APIs and Excipients in Germany, Spain and China. While in the past their reputation in pharma was for manufacturing mainly Polyglycols, Vaios Barlas, Global Director Health Care at Clariant explains that they have been focused on expanding their Excipient offering. “Excipients are ‘the vehicles of drug delivery systems' and are growing very fast for us. Four out of ten API's are not soluble, our body is practically all water, so you need functional excipients to be able to make them bioavailable – soluble and permeable in our organs.” Clariant have a comprehensive portfolio of excipients including solubilizers, emulsifiers, solvents rheology modifiers, binders, humectants plasticizers and many different kinds of agents.  Among Clariant's standout offerings are its high-purity VitiPure® O 80 Superior, a purified Polysorbate 80 as well as the new VitiPure® CO 35 Superior, a Polyoxyl 35 Castor Oil and its low endotoxin and microbial load VitiPure® Meglumine LEX. Clariant also offers a comprehensive selection of Polyglykols (Macrogols), which serve as universally applicable pharmaceutical polymers. Notably, these polymers boast a spectrum of molecular weights and are fortified with CEP certification and DMF documentation, underlining their quality and regulatory compliance. Clariant are a “top-ranked” supplier for both generics and originator pharma companies, says Vaios. He highlights a recent independent survey that placed Clariant in the top five suppliers for customer loyalty, as ranked by the global pharma industry. Greater chemistry between people and the planet “At Clariant our motto ‘greater chemistry between people and planet' is our raison d'etre. It's why we exist” says Vaios. “In the face of the global challenges of climate change and global health and nutrition issues, we feel we bear a responsibility and have to ask ourselves, what contribution we can make.” “It's both a company and a personal commitment to society and to the planet to innovate, find solutions to the challenges and bring technological solutions that are friendly for the people and the environment. That's the big challenge we're trying to live up to in Clariant” As an example, Clariant produce bio-ethanol based ethylene oxide, which will allow them to produce Excipients and APIs with low carbon footprint in future. “Over time this has to become an industry standard.” says Vaios. Key Trends: Personalised Medicine and novel Drug Delivery Systems Reflecting on key trends shaping the industry, Vaios highlights the importance of personalised medicine. “Pharma companies are using artificial intelligence and big data to develop targeted therapies that are customised to the patient's genome and the medical history. This is happening at rates faster than ever before.” The delivery of complex injectables in the form of liposomes is moving the pharmaceutical industry rapidly forward, says Vaios. “At Clariant we are participating in this, as we did with our methoxy-PEGs and the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19. I believe this has potential to address critical diseases such as cancer, HIV and infectious viruses in a way that was impossible to imagine a few years back.” Read more

Sektor nowoczesnych usług dla biznesu jest tym, który od lat jest liderem w tworzeniu nowych miejsc pracy. To centra operacyjne typu BPO, SSC, GBS, IT czy też R&D powstają co miesiąc w niemal wszystkich dużych i średnich miastach, tworząc szereg stanowisk pracy zarówno w obszarach front jak i back office. Łódź jest miastem, które na polskiej mapie lokalizacji BSS jest widoczne już od niemal dwóch dekad. Na przestrzeni tych lat powstało tu około 100 centrów operacyjnych, a zatrudnienie zbliżyło się do 30.000 osób. Istniejące centra zwiększają zarówno zakres świadczonych przez siebie prac, jak również i samo zatrudnienie. Mimo pandemii Łodzi udało się przyciągnąć do siebie nowych inwestorów, którzy w raptem kilka miesięcy przeprowadzili kilkaset projektów rekrutacyjnych, a to jeszcze nie koniec. Rok 2022 również zapowiada się interesująco. Zapraszam na wirtualną debatę, w której usłyszycie o tym: - jakim Łódź jest miastem dla sektora BSS, - jak wygląda zatrudnienie w wybranych centrach operacyjnych,- jaką miasto i biznes ma strategie Employer Brandingową,- jak wygląda i może wyglądać współpraca biznesu z lokalnymi uczelniami.

Anna Lorentz (ASIJ 2009) and Alissa Lorentz (ASIJ 2005) Marketing & Communications (Alissa) Account Management & Sales (Anna) ALISSA BIO Upon graduating from Princeton Alissa moved to Munich to work at a German advertising agency as a creative despite speaking 0 German. With the exception of a work project in Abu Dhabi, she's lived in Europe ever since. After working at the agency she moved to Stockholm to study digital design at Hyper Island in Stockholm. During this time she created interactive music videos and telemedicine apps on the side during her free time. Once she graduated from Hyper Island, she joined Augify, a data visualization start-up, as VP of Creative, Marketing, and Design where she developed the branding and marketing strategy from scratch. Several winters in Sweden prompted Alissa to leave. She then moved to Basel, Switzerland to work for Clariant, a specialty chemicals company, as their Global Social Media Lead. She remained at Clariant for several years and held positions as Global Marketing Communications Business Partner and Global Customer Experience Lead for their personal care and cosmetics unit. She also led the marketing and branding work for one of Clariant's startups, Chemberry, a personal care ingredient search engine. ANNA BIO At Princeton, Anna was interested in language and cultures, and focused her studies around Mandarin and Brazilian Portuguese. She wrote her thesis on China-Brazil trade relations and immigration. After graduating in 2013, she started her career in advertising as an Account Manager at Ogilvy & Mather in New York, working on brands like SAP and Comcast. After 2.5 fun-filled years, and lots of socializing with fellow ASIJ-ers in the city, she made the bittersweet decision to move to Bangkok, her hometown, out of a desire to work on global brands outside of the U.S. market. In Thailand, she worked at TBWAThailand as Account Supervisor, leading their Myanmar accounts. In late 2017, this opportunity led her to work in Singapore, as Associate Account Director at a different agency called BBH, on the Nike account. Anna flew around the region with her team and activated digital and experiential campaigns in Bangkok and Manila. In 2019, in a bit of a plot twist, she decided to pivot to the tech industry and move to Europe. She now works in Sales at Unbabel, an AI translation startup, based in Lisbon, Portugal. Episode 28 Alissa Lorentz (ASIJ 2005) & Anna Lorentz (2009) Marketing & Communications & Account Management & Sale The two explain to Nick their upbringing and how they learned to grow up with Japanese, Thai, and English at the same time. Nick asks the two what type of advice they would have for mixed families who hope to teach their children 2, 3, even 4 languages. Alisa emphasizes that its' important that parents stay consistent with the languages they teach to their children, and fight the urges to "cave in" if a child begins to focus only on one language, and may reject the "minority language". The three discuss how language acquisition is often highly nuanced, and even within the same family, there will be somewhat of a deviation of language levels amongst siblings. In the second half of the podcast, the three discuss how culture affects the workplace. Alissa has experience working in the US and Europe, Anna in Singapore, Thailand, and Portugal, and Nick in Bahrain, Honduras, South Korea, and Japan.

Biofuels were hailed as the environmental solution to fossil fuels not that long ago. Made from living crops they take up carbon dioxide as they grow. So burning them shouldn't disturb the balance of warming gases in the atmosphere. But for the last few years the publicity about biofuels has been mainly negative. And for good reason – biofuels are made from crops such as oil palm - grown in place of food crops or even rainforests. In some cases using these crops actually produces more CO2 than burning fossil fuels. However research is being done into new kinds of biofuels that aren't in competition with food crops. Gaia Vince travels to Bavaria in Germany to meet Dr Markus Rarbach, head of biofuels at Clariant. This company has set up a demonstration plant that produces ethanol from sugars in the waste products of wheat grown nearby. Also on the programme is professor Gregory Tucker from Nottingham University who talks about research into new ways of getting sugars out of the inedible parts of crops; agricultural economist, Dr Paul Wilson, discusses what farmers think about making biofuels out of their straw; and Dr Angela Karp at Rothamsted Research, who is growing new willow varieties, which could be made into biofuels.
