Research and Innovation• In 2025 the world population will have increased
by 20% to 8 billion people.• Emerging countries accounted for 20% of the
world’s wealth, by 2025 they will account for 34%.
• China and India will by 2025 account for 20% of the world’s R&D.
• The current “Brain Drain”-trend will be reversed and replaced by “Brain Circulation”.
• Creates new possibilities for innovation in green technology.

REACH – a model
• REACH enters into a new phase on December 1 with the deadline for applications to register chemical substances.
• ECHA expect a total 38 000 applications (compared to an initial estimate of about 25 000).
• According to the Commission there are indications that companies have discovered previously unknown hazards thanks to the process of registration through REACH.
• Discovery of risks with old substances will create opportunities for greener alternatives.
• REACH has set a new standard globally
