SECOND
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
THE CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL
INDUSTRIES OF RUSSIA & THE CIS
including
developments in
CENTRAL & EASTERN EUROPE
23 - 24 April 2001, The Radisson SAS Hotel, Budapest, Hungary
The Chemical and
Petrochemical industries in the CIS and Eastern Europe are currently undergoing
a significant changes. In Russia and the CIS the industry is starting
to experience significant growth after a long period of stagnation and
is undergoing structural changes with major regional players like Lukoil
and Gazprom seeking to consolidate or increase their production capacity.
Elsewhere in Eastern Europe some countries are restructuring their chemical
industries to prepare themselves for integration into a larger Europe.
In response to both increasing domestic and international demand, the
need for new technology, engineering expertise and effective management
solutions in order to improve product quality, reduce operational costs
and increase profit margins is increasingly becoming a priority for these
companies.
This well focused two-day event brings together leading authorities of major chemical and petrochemical organisations and government regulatory bodies from both the CIS and Eastern Europe to discuss their short to medium term objectives, strategies and plans for the industry, at the same time outlining areas for collaboration and joint venture partnerships with international organisations and suppliers. The conference will inform, update and provide delegates with a better understanding of the requirements of the chemical industry in this region, whilst highlighting areas of opportunities for investing in, supplying to and operating in the industry.
