Ladies and Gentleman!
The 12th edition of the Polish Chemistry Congress will be held on 29 and 30 May 2025 in Krakow (at the Fabryczna 13 Conference Centre). It is the most important and largest event of the chemical industry in Poland and Central Europe. Every year, the two-day meeting organised by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry (PIPC) is an excellent opportunity to discuss the current situation of the chemical industry with hundreds of representatives of business, public administration, science, as well as experts from industry organisations.
This year’s edition of the Polish Chemistry Congress takes place at a special time of Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union, with the motto “Safety, Europe!”. At the same time, changes on the U.S. political scene bring further challenges, to which Europe, including industrial sector and the chemical industry, must prepare and respond accordingly. In the face of the turbulent economic landscape, increasing regulatory burdens, as well as growing third-country competitors, the safety of our sector is becoming more and more important. The EU administration, recognising the loss of its competitive advantage, the increasingly higher level of deindustrialisation of Europe and excessive regulation of the economy, has declared to introduce an array of measures which will hugely impact the chemical industry which is facing many challenges.
Polish Chemistry Congress will become a central place for the debate on the future of the Polish and European chemical industry, whose reliability and competitiveness are key to guarantee the security of the entire economy. The chemical industry is an important supplier for numerous key sectors, including pharmaceutical, automotive, food, construction and energy industries.
The agenda of the 12th Polish Chemistry Congress also stipulates the presentation of the best technologies available on the market. The Polish and European chemical industry urgently needs to regain its position in the global technology race; hence, the 12th edition of the Polish Chemistry Congress will become a unique platform for exchanging knowledge and experience in areas concerning energy transition, decarbonisation of the economy and investing in renewable energy sources (RES). Important discussions will also be held on such topics as research and innovation, digital development, partnerships with scientific institutions, and infrastructure upgrade. These areas are crucial to the security, development and competitiveness not only of the chemical sector, but also of the economy as a whole.
Security, strengthening competitiveness, deregulation, access to low-cost energy, decarbonisation and energy transition, investing in infrastructure upgrade, research and innovation, along with digital development will be the key topics discussed during the 12th edition of the Polish Chemistry Congress.
The previous editions of the Congress featured prominent representatives of business, science, industry organisations, politics, as well as the largest companies in the Polish chemical sector.
We are confident that, as in previous years, the Congress will be a memorable event, and its participants will appreciate the high quality of the debates and the excellent organisation of the meetings.
The 12th edition of the Polish Chemistry Congress will be held on 29 and 30 May 2025 at the Fabryczna 13 Conference Centre in Krakow.
We encourage your participation in the Congress!
