Expression of Interest for Participation in the

Chemspec Europe 2027 Exhibition 

to be held from 24-25th May, 2027 at Basel,  Switzerland

 

Dear Member,

Greetings from CHEMEXCIL!

As part of its export promotion activities for the year 2026–27, CHEMEXCIL successfully organized the India Pavilion at Chemspec Europe 2026, held on 6–7 May 2026 in Cologne, Germany.

The two-day exhibition attracted 4,238 trade visitors from 60 countries, featured 454 exhibitors from 28 countries, and served as an important platform for business networking, sourcing, and collaboration in the specialty chemicals sector.

The Council sincerely thanks all member participants for their valuable support, without which the success of the India Pavilion would not have been possible.

We are pleased to inform you that the organizers have announced the next edition of Chemspec Europe 2027, scheduled to be held on 24–25 May 2027 in Basel, Switzerland.

CHEMEXCIL has been participating regularly in Chemspec Europe, and the exhibition continues to receive an encouraging response from Indian exporters, with increasing participation year on year.

To enable early planning and secure a prime location for the India Pavilion, the Council invites members to confirm their participation at the earliest.

The Council has decided to proceed a step further and requests interested members to reserve their participation in Chemspec Europe 2027 by making an advance payment of 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh Only) towards stall booking. This amount will be adjusted against the final participation charges.

Interested members are requested to submit their Expression of Interest (EOI) by email to shobha@chemexcil.in, clearly mentioning their stall requirement, for example:

“Interested in booking a ____ sq. m. stall (9, 18, 27 or 36 sq. m.) at Chemspec Europe 2027.”

CHEMEXCIL has proposed participation of 25 member exporters under the Market Access Support (MAS) Scheme for this event. However, approval from the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India is currently awaited.

Members are requested to note that reimbursement under the MAS Scheme will be subject to:

  • Approval of the event under the MAS Scheme by the Ministry; and
  • Receipt of funds from the Government.

In case the event is not approved under the MAS Scheme, participation will be treated as private participation, and no reimbursement of stall charges or airfare will be provided.

Important Note:

  • Submission of EOI does not guarantee stall allotment.
  • Stall allotment will be subject to availability and Council’s final confirmation.

Members are requested to submit their Expression of Interest on or before 31st  July 2026.
