EUROCORR 2025, the leading international conference for corrosion science and technology, takes place from September 7-11 in Stavanger, Norway. Experts from around the world work together to discover how to better protect components from corrosion. Effective protection extends the durability of components and significantly reduces the need for raw materials as well as emissions of greenhouse gases. “Protecting metals is an important topic in all areas of the industrial value chain. To minimize damage, for example from rust, we need interdisciplinary collaboration to research and develop new technologies and processes,” said Dr. Patrick Keil, corrosion protection expert at BASF Coatings. He is a senior executive of the organization that runs the EUROCORR conference series.

trinamiX, a leading innovator in biometric imaging technology and biomarker measurement, will present its health and safety solutions at IAA Mobility 2025 tradeshow in Munich. The showcased “Invisible Biometric Sensing Display” employs trinamiX’s patented Beam Profile Analysis technology, allowing for the monitoring of vital signs and biometrics of vehicle occupants. Another feature based on NIR spectroscopy is the non-invasive detection of blood alcohol. The overall aim is to support OEMs to enhance safety and comfort for drivers and passengers and to meet upcoming legal requirements. Another highlight is the trinamiX B-pillar solution, which enables frictionless access for registered drivers and passengers through secure Face Authentication – integrated into the concept car of WITTE Automotive.
