Dr.Ing. Bora ÖZKAN is Chief Technology Officer at Ipsen International GmbH, Germany, a global manufacturer of industrial heat treatment furnaces. Since 2019, he has held senior technical leadership roles within the company and has been serving as CTO since 2023. In this position, he leads an interdisciplinary R&D and engineering team and is responsible for product development, process engineering, modular platform strategy, and software-related innovation.

His work focuses on modular furnace architectures that reduce project-specific engineering effort and shorten realization time, hybrid heating systems (electric/gas/hydrogen-ready), and energy-flexible operating concepts. A central element of his current activities is the application of physics-based energy demand models and digital tools to improve productivity, energy transparency, and operational efficiency in industrial heat treatment.

Prior to joining Ipsen, Dr. Özkan spent nearly a decade at LOI Thermprocess, contributing to the development and realization of large-scale international heat treatment facilities.

He received his PhD in materials engineering from Ruhr University Bochum in 2010 and combines academic expertise with extensive experience in global industrial plant engineering. He is married and has three children.
