Fourth International Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium
Sustainable production of functional particles
What role do cell culture media play in our future diet? What do tap density and the shape of a potato have to do with electromobility? How can you save energy and improve product quality at the same time? These are some of the questions that will be addressed at the 4th International Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium on 13th and 14th September 2023 in Augsburg.
Message from the Organizer
It is a great pleasure to announce that the International Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium entitled “Sustainable production of functional particles” will be held at Dorint-Hotel Augsburg on Thursday 14th of September, 2023 as a part of special events to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation. This foundation was established in Japan for the purpose to promote science and technology in the field of powder and particle processing and characterization on the basis of the fund donated by the late Mr.Masuo Hosokawa. It annually presents the “KONA Award” to a prominent researcher with an excellent contribution to the advancement in this field and supports active researchers by financial funding.
This symposium is the fourth one to be held outside Japan by our foundation, which aims to promote the exchange of technical information and knowledge among worldwide researchers and engineers engaged in the work of handling powder and particles. The first one was held at HOSOKAWA ALPINE AG in Augsburg in 2014 on the occasion of 20th anniversary of the Foundation. And then the second one (2017) and the third one (2019) were held also successfully in USA and China, respectively.
While the environment surrounding the world is changing dramatically these days, technological innovation is steadily progressing to a great extent and the importance of powder science and engineering is considerably increasing more and more.
I hope that this symposium will bring the participants new tips and ideas which will lead to innovative and fruitful R&D and engineering work in academic and industry.

Meet experts and exchange ideas
At the 4th International Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium you will meet experts from research and development, science and practice. The symposium series was initiated by the Hosokawa Micron Group and serves the professional exchange of specialists in the field of powder processing. Every two years, the experts meet at a different Hosokawa Micron Group location. After Shanghai (2019) and Summit/New Jersey (2017), Hosokawa Alpine AG in Augsburg is the host for the second time (after 2014).
Expand your network, discuss with colleagues, think outside the box! There will be plenty of opportunities: at the big get-together at the start of the symposium and on the conference day itself.
Registration is closed
