The Annual GPCA Forum, GPCA’s flagship event, has firmly established itself as the foremost gathering of the chemical and petrochemical industry in the Arabian Gulf region. Over the past 17 years, the forum has not only become a key feature in the global chemical industry agenda but also a vital knowledge-sharing and networking platform for regional and global industry stakeholders, establishing itself as the central hub for leaders in the chemical and petrochemical industry.
The forum is more than an event; it is an exclusive gathering that serves as a testament not only to the growth and dynamism of the sector but also to the Annual GPCA Forum’s role as a catalyst for progress.
