One Congress. Two days. Three perspectives.

The largest and most prestigious annual event of the chemical sector in Poland and Central Europe, organized by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry (PIPC) – the only association representing the interests of the chemical industry in Poland and acting as its representative before public administration.

Two intensive days filled with debates, presentations, expert discussions and roundtables dedicated to the key challenges of the sector, as well as numerous informal and business meetings, culminating in a networking dinner.

An event bringing together participants looking at the chemical sector from three perspectives:
– Chemical business leaders – management boards, directors, and decision-makers responsible for strategy and investments;
– Public administration and regulators – those shaping the legislative environment and industrial policy;
– Experts from the entire chemical value chain – including technology providers, energy transition specialists, regulatory and public affairs professionals, advisors, lawyers and scientists.

Thematic scope of the 13th Polish Chemistry Congress

  • Chemical supply chain resilience in conflicts and geopolitical tensions
  • Transport, storage, and distribution of chemicals – supply continuity management and crisis coordination
  • Chemistry for security and defense – partnership between the chemical and defense industries
  • Dual-use technologies in practice – from raw materials to intermediates and specialty materials
  • Hybrid warfare, sabotage, cyberattacks, disinformation – new risks for the chemical sector
  • Chemical plants, pipelines, terminals, storage facilities– how to protect key elements of critical infrastructure
  • Industrial cybersecurity as a strategic component of national security
  • The European chemical industry in conditions of global uncertainty: geopolitics, conflicts, and supply chain disruptions
  • EU relations with the rest of the world (USA, China, India, the Middle East, and Mercosur) – the new trade arithmetic and its implications for European chemicals
  • Mechanisms for protecting the internal market: tariffs, sanctions, anti-dumping instruments – and their enforcement in practice
  • Carbon cost, CBAM and unequal conditions of competition in international trade
  • Access to critical raw materials as a condition for the competitiveness of European chemistry
  • Local content and “Made in Europe” – how to build demand for Polish and European chemicals
  • Reindustrialisation of Europe – whether and how to restore a strong industrial base for chemicals?
  • Reshoring, nearshoring, offshoring – where to produce today to remain competitive tomorrow?
  • Conditions and limits of industrial transformation: energy, raw materials, emissions, and regulation
  • Affordable and accessible energy and raw materials for industry - will competitive prices become a fact, not a declaration?
  • Energy transition without deindustrialisation in light of the ETS revision – is the EU capable of changing course?
  • Decarbonisation vs. security of supply – where does the real boundary of compromise lie today?
  • Transformation of the Polish chemical industry in the European context – risks, advantages, and untapped potential
  • Emission reduction without loss of competitiveness – which models and instruments work in practice
  • Renewable energy, energy storage, and long-term contracts (PPAs) – opportunities and limitations for chemical plants
  • The role of natural gas as a transition fuel in the context of the energy transition
  • Nuclear energy and SMRs in industry – when will nuclear become a real support for the chemical sector?
  • Green hydrogen and CCUS – future technologies or costly investments without scale?
  • From targets to projects – the national dimension of transformation: regulatory, infrastructural, and financial barriers
  • One year after the announcement of the Clean Industrial Deal – what has actually worked and what remains on paper?
  • Industrial Accelerator Act – czy nowe ramy rzeczywiście przyspieszą rozwój przemysłu?
  • Regulatory coherence and predictability as a condition for the stability of the chemical industry
  • Regulatory overload (REACH, CLP, ETS, IED, RED, PFAS) – where has the EU passed a tipping point?
  • Omnibuses instead of systemic reforms – simplification or postponement of problems?
  • Time is money – is the current environmental decision-making system blocking industrial development in the EU?
  • Circularity as an element of competitiveness. Do current circular economy regulations support the development of long-term raw material autonomy? Circular Economy Act, chemical recycling, critical raw materials
  • Strategic chemicals in the context of global competition – European and national perspective
  • Chemicals as a pillar of national economic and technological resilience. First results of the Critical Chemicals Alliance's work
  • REACH after 20 years – a path to stability instead of revolution?
  • The PFAS direction – how to regulate responsibly without risking key sectors of the economy?
  • How is the role of ECHA evolving in light of new regulations (REACH, IED, CLP)?
  • Chemical safety on a global scale – is the EU as a model or a “lonely regulatory island”?
  • The clock is ticking, capital is scarce – where to find funding for industrial transformation?
  • Modernisation, expansion, or relocation? Key investment decisions in the European and Polish chemical industry
  • New investment areas – where to build growth advantages for the chemical sector? (chemical recycling and circular economy, CCUS, bioplastics, electromobility)
  • Investment checklist – how to meet investors’ expectations?
  • ESG after the omnibus packages – reporting vs. investments: duplication of obligations, value chain pressure, and the risk of a “paper-based” industrial transformation
  • Models of cooperation between science and industry – open innovation, consortia, joint investments – how to effectively translate R&D potential into production and market outcomes?
  • AI and automation as the new language of competitiveness in the chemical industry
  • Next-generation ERP/MES systems – integration of production, supply chains, and sales – how to increase business flexibility in the chemical sector?
