European Chemical Industry Forum 2025
“From Chemistry to Security”
European Chemical Industry Forum 2025 (ECIF 2025) is a new addition to the calendar of the European chemical industry – the “mother of all industries”!
The Forum is being organised jointly by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry (PIPC) and the Ministry of Development and Technology – for the first time in this form and on this scale. Our Supporting Partners are the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), the European Chemical Regions Network (ECRN), and the Association of the Chemical Industry of the Czech Republic (SCHP CR).
The first edition of the Forum will take place on 11 December 2025 in Warsaw, at the Ministry of Development and Technology and will be held under the theme “From Chemistry to Security.”
The Forum serves as a platform for dialogue between public administration and the industrial sector, dedicated to the most important challenges and development directions for the chemical industry — addressing the sector’s priorities in the context of dynamic geopolitical changes, the implementation of regulatory goals, and efforts to rebuild Europe’s security, competitiveness, and economic resilience.
