Chemistry, from health to energy: the topics of the industrialists' assembly
On Monday, 26 October, the president of Federchimica Francesco Buzzella will bring together the companies in Milan: after the messages from Meloni, Metsola, Urso and Pichetto Fratin, Emanuele Orsini, the president of Confindustria, and Minister Tajani are expected to attend.
Italy's chemical industry leaders will gather at their annual assembly at The Mall in Milan, facing pressing issues such as high energy costs, the EU's Emissions Trading System (Ets), bureaucracy, and increasing competition from Chinese rivals. The sector, which generates €60 billion in revenue and employs over 117,000 highly skilled workers, is the fifth-largest industry in Italy and the third-largest in Europe.
This year is expected to end with a decline in production, with a slight recovery not anticipated until 2027. The assembly will feature addresses from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, and various ministers, including Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and Industry Minister Adolfo Urso.
A roundtable discussion titled "Industria, salute, energia: quale Europa?" will close the event, featuring experts from academia, industry, and politics.
