Chemical industry

The chemical industry is a strategic and influential industry within the European market. It impacts various sectors such as energy, transport, and manufacturing, as well as agriculture and healthcare. The chemical industry plays a crucial role in producing and supplying the right raw materials and intermediate products to markets such as pharmaceuticals, food, electronics, and construction.

In addition, the industry faces several challenges, including sustainability. However, making the sector more sustainable and striving towards a circular economy are key objectives and offer significant opportunities. To encourage these initiatives, a range of European funding opportunities are available to support organisations and businesses in this transition—particularly in focusing on the flexible use of raw materials, smart production processes, and enhancing the functionality of chemical products.
