To 

All The Members of the Council

Dear Member,

The Council is organizing India–USA Chemical Partnership Summit 2026 from 14- 16 Oct 2026 at Houston, USA.

It is a focused India-centric platform designed exclusively to connect Indian chemical exporters with qualified U.S. buyers, distributors, formulators, and supply chain leaders.

It is the one of its kind high-level trade summit dedicated exclusively to connecting qualified U.S. chemical buyers with vetted Indian chemical exporters.

Why This Matters for U.S. Companies: 

As they look to diversify supply chains away from China and strengthen procurement resilience, India has emerged as a strategic, reliable alternative – with:

• $250B+ chemical production capacity (6th largest globally)
• REACH, TSCA, and EPA-compliant manufacturers
• Cost advantages of 15–25% vs. Chinese suppliers on many intermediates and specialties

This summit is designed to accelerate your supplies to USA with:

• Pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings with pre-vetted US Importers 
• Matchmaking based on their exact product needs (CAS numbers, purity specs, applications)
• Access to procurement leaders, technical directors, and supply chain VPs from both sides
• Market intelligence sessions on India’s regulatory landscape, quality standards, and logistics capabilities

Event Highlights

• Structured Business Meetings: 1-to-1 Pre-scheduled meetings
• Knowledge Sessions: Supply chain resilience, regulatory updates (TSCA, REACH), logistics optimization
• Networking Receptions: Buyer-seller reception, and delegation meetups

What You Get as part of Participation Package:

• Participation in the official delegation led by CHEMEXCIL
• Day I - 14th October, 2026 - Access to all conference, networking sessions
• Day II – 15^th October, 2026 - B2B Meetings & Networking Reception with US Buyers
• Day III – 16^th October, 2026 - B2B Meetings and close of delegation 
• 1-to-1 Pre-scheduled meetings with U.S. Buyers
• Post-event buyer contact list and follow-up support
• App based Buyer Seller Match making

This is a unique opportunity to build direct relationships with U.S. chemical Importers – without the time and cost of traveling to frequently or navigating multiple trade shows.
