Summit Background

The global chemical industry is undergoing profound shifts amid reshaping geopolitics, rising trade barriers and volatile energy costs. The traditional globalized supply chain framework is rapidly restructuring, with regionalization, localization and industrial clustering emerging as key industry trends. Persistent market uncertainties, dual-carbon policies, stricter hazardous chemicals regulations, and the accelerated adoption of AI & digital twin, have shifted chemical supply chains from pure efficiency to a new era balancing safety, resilience, efficiency, sustainability and intelligence.

The 2026 Global Chemical Supply Chain (China) Summit will be held in Shanghai on November 19–20, gathering nearly 600 attendees from government, academic institutions, industry associations, leading chemical producers, LSPs, consulting firms, software, equipment, packaging and other solution providers. With a global vision and local focus, the summit will cover core topics such as supply chain restructuring, risk management, low-carbon & sustainability, end-to-end resilience, digital & Intelligent transformation, agile production & operation, cost optimization & efficiency improvement, customer experience improvement, regulatory trends, organization & talent development and so on. It will delve into AI & digital twin applications, and supply chain management practices across the sub-sectors of chemical industry.
