GPCA Research & Innovation Conference on September 16-17, 2026 in Khobar, Saudi Arabia

GPCA Research & Innovation Conference September 16, 2026 - Khobar, Saudi Arabia

In an era of geopolitical uncertainty and rapid industrial transformation, the global narrative has shifted from simply generating new ideas to ensuring those ideas deliver tangible, scalable value. As nations around the world strive for resilience, economic diversification, and energy security, innovation now sits at the heart of the strategic agenda for all stakeholders across the value chain.

As a cornerstone of the GCC manufacturing sector, it is hence imperative for the chemical industry to explore the full innovation lifecycle, from discovery to deployment, and channel its research, partnerships, and investments into solutions that strengthen competitiveness, enhance efficiency, and open new pathways for sustainable growth in the region.

The 8th edition of the GPCA Research and Innovation Conference held under the theme, “Innovation that Delivers: Empowering Research and Talent for Tomorrow”, returns as the region’s premier platform dedicated to promoting a culture of innovation across the chemical industry. The conference will focus on how the sector can scale innovation, accelerate commercialization, build partnerships and empower the next generation of scientific talent, bringing together senior industry executives, policymakers, global innovation experts, research institutions and centres of excellence.
