Serving as a regional hub, the center supports customers throughout the entire product development journey – from initial concept to market launch. Roquette’s proven expertise in polymers and formulation, combined with trusted brands like Avicel® microcrystalline cellulose, METHOCEL™ hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, MICROCEL® microcrystalline cellulose, and PEARLITOL® mannitol, will help to accelerate development timelines, minimize waste, and reduce manufacturing costs.

Roquette Health & Pharma Solutions is partnering with the Northeast Center for Strategic Technologies to empower young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics through the Futuras Cientistas program. Roquette’s scientists will mentor the program’s youth and invite them to shadow them at the new laboratory.

"Through Futuras Cientistas, and in partnership with Roquette, we are opening doors for young women to explore science and technology — not just as students, but as future leaders. When we invest in their potential, we invest in a more equitable, innovative, and prosperous society."
This milestone not only celebrates the opening of a world-class facility but also affirms the Health and Pharma Solutions Business Group’s dedication to advancing pharmaceutical innovation and building lasting partnerships that will shape the future of healthcare in Latin America.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release

Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
