Ladies and Gentleman!

On May 29–30, 2025, in Kraków (at the Fabryczna 13 Conference Center), the 12th edition of the Polish Chemistry Congress took place – the most important and largest event for the chemical industry in Poland and Central Europe, organized by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry (PIPC). This two-day meeting provides an annual opportunity to discuss the current situation of the chemical industry, with hundreds of representatives from business, public administration, academia, and industry organizations participating each year.

The 12th edition of the Congress was held at a particularly significant time during Poland’s presidency of the Council of the European Union, whose guiding motto was “Security, Europe!”. The event became a central platform for debate on the future of the Polish and European chemical industry, whose stability and competitiveness are crucial for ensuring the security of the entire economy.

The agenda of the 12th Polish Chemistry Congress also included opportunities to showcase the best available technologies. The chemical industry in Poland and Europe more than ever needs to regain its position in the global technology race. For this reason, the 12th edition of the Congress became a unique platform for exchanging knowledge and experiences in areas related to the energy transition, decarbonization of the economy, and investments in renewable energy sources (RES).
