About the conference

Effective use of the domestic petrochemical industry’s potential requires not only investment, but also innovation, as well as a strategic approach to the development of the industry.

The priority task should be the earliest possible achievement of technological sovereignty of our country, based on the development of domestic developments that take into account the specifics and needs of the Russian economy and ensure the continuous growth of its potential.

The purpose of the conference is to gather leading experts in the chemical and oil and gas industries to discuss current issues related to the development of the petrochemical complex of Russia, discuss current results, and find new growth points.

Program

The Petrochemical 2026 business program is designed to highlight the main issues in the petrochemical industry, as well as the main trends in technology and operations. It was formed in collaboration with our long-standing partners from leading refineries, oil and chemical companies, EPCs and licensors.

To make the agenda perfect, each topic is approved by the project director and only then added to the program. We want our audience to learn from the speakers and presentations to provoke discussions, so each study is an indicator of the organizers’ knowledge of the petrochemical market.
