Anton Paar India Launches NEXUS Industry Knowledge & Technology Platform

Anton Paar India announced the creation of NEXUS, a two‑day Industry Knowledge & Technology Platform designed to bring together industry leaders, scientists, researchers and academia. The event is scheduled for October 7–8, 2026 at Ramada by Wyndham, Navi Mumbai and will be centred on the theme “Industry Insights. Technology. Experience.”

The platform targets five key sectors – pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, petroleum and asphalt – and aims to address pressing analytical and manufacturing challenges such as formulation development, material characterisation, quality control, process efficiency, scale‑up, sustainability and next‑generation product development. Sessions will combine expert perspectives with practical analytical approaches, live technology experiences and peer‑to‑peer discussions.

A distinctive feature of NEXUS is the Innovation Expo and live application demonstrations, which will run alongside keynote presentations and technical sessions. The format is intended to move beyond traditional product‑led conferences, enabling scientists, laboratory leaders, quality professionals, R&D teams, manufacturing specialists and senior decision‑makers to engage directly with analytical workflows and technologies, and to foster cross‑sector interaction.

Sector‑Specific Tracks

  • Pharmaceuticals Track – “New Generation Drug Delivery: From Molecule to Medicine” – will explore advanced material characterisation, next‑generation drug delivery systems, particles and interfaces, formulation stability and the role of critical excipients such as magnesium stearate. Expected participants include pharmaceutical manufacturers, API and formulation companies, life‑sciences organisations, contract research organisations, testing laboratories, academia and standards‑focused bodies.
  • Food & Beverage Track – will focus on the science behind product performance, consistency and formulation, covering dough and starch characterisation, flour functionality, rheology and pasting behaviour, gluten‑free and alternative flours, as well as broader quality and process challenges. Anticipated attendees are manufacturers, breweries, distilleries, ingredient specialists, testing laboratories, research institutions and process‑technology organisations.
  • Chemicals Track – will examine the transition from conventional quality control to the use of analytical data for performance intelligence, discussing rheology as a product fingerprint and linking laboratory formulation to plant‑scale processing. The track is relevant to specialty chemicals, paints and coatings, adhesives, inks, polymers, fragrances, petrochemicals and formulated chemical manufacturers.
  • Petroleum & Asphalt Track – will address quality, operational efficiency and sustainability in a changing industry, with discussions on integrated analytics for petroleum and petrochemicals, lubricant and fuel characterisation, process efficiency and sustainable road materials, including recycled asphalt, warm‑mix technologies and modified binders. Participants are expected from refineries, oil and gas companies, lubricant manufacturers, petrochemical producers, testing laboratories, engineering organisations, road‑material specialists and academia.

Leadership Quote

“NEXUS is designed around a simple but important shift in perspective starting with the industry challenge rather than the instrument. Across sectors, organisations are dealing with increasingly complex materials, tighter quality expectations, manufacturing efficiencies and sustainability goals. By bringing together scientific insight, industry experience and technology in one platform, we want to create meaningful conversations that can help participants better understand these challenges and identify practical approaches to solving them,” said Mr Nitin Prabhakar, Managing Director, Anton Paar India.

Objective

With NEXUS, Anton Paar India aims to create a meeting point where conversations begin with the fundamental question of what the industry is trying to understand, improve or solve. By linking scientific insight, industry experience and technology, the platform seeks to generate ideas and insights that extend beyond the conference room.
