Set in vibrant Cologne, near some of Europe’s largest chemical parks and pharma sites, the event provides a perfect gateway to connect with international professionals in chemical development and manufacturing. Over two days, more than 400 key suppliers from 22 countries will share their expertise in fine chemicals, custom solutions, and specialised contract services – supported by high-level talks and regulatory guidance.
Amid volatile markets, rapid innovation, and shifting regulations, Chemspec Europe serves as a vital strategic touchpoint for the chemical community. “The entire playing field is being redefined”, says Christiane Beck, Event Director for Chemspec Europe at RX. “The recent surge in exhibitor bookings and a strong start to the visitor registration clearly reflect the industry's appetite for more connection, insight, and forward momentum. We are expecting a highly dynamic event, with strong engagement across the board.”
