At the 12th Polish Chemistry Congress in Krak\u00f3w, \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network signed a partnership agreement with the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry (PIPC). The agreement aims to strengthen collaboration between science and industry and jointly build an innovative, sustainable, and competitive chemical sector in Poland.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a step toward very concrete cooperation between our Institutes and the companies affiliated with PIPC. It may evolve into a strategic partnership, similar to the one we already have with Grupa Azoty,\u201d emphasized Wies\u0142aw Skwarko, Vice President of the \u0141ukasiewicz Center. \u201cPIPC brings together nearly all key chemical companies operating in Poland, including international ones,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement includes the development of joint R&D and implementation projects, support for the energy transition, circular economy, and technologies of defense and strategic importance. Both parties committed to supporting initiatives aimed at increasing the rate of innovation in the chemical sector, including promoting research results, facilitating connections between institutes and enterprises, and joint legislative efforts, includeing the EU level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe cannot talk about industrial development today without a scientific foundation that understands market realities and effectively responds to specific challenges. The partnership between the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry and \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network strengthens the role of innovation, especially in decarbonization and technological transformation,\u201d emphasized Tomasz Zieli\u0144ski, President of PIPC. \u201cChemistry is the foundation of the economy. Many sectors depend on it, including energy, medicine, agriculture, construction, and automotive. The chemical industry, as the Industry of Industries, is finally being recognized as a key element of Europe\u2019s security. That is why chemistry, supported by strong partnerships such as PIPC with \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network, is the starting point for building a resilient, innovative, and sovereign Europe powered by modern industry,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cooperation is based on a new model of strategic partnerships, in which \u0141ukasiewicz institutes\u2014including the Industrial Chemistry Institute, Institute of Heavy Organic Synthesis, Institute of Organic Industry, and Institute of New Chemical Syntheses\u2014will closely collaborate with enterprises in research, development, and technology commercialization. One of the key goals is the decarbonization of the chemical industry and enhancing its competitiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement with PIPC is part of \u0141ukasiewicz\u2019s strategy, which focuses on four key areas: industrial chemistry, national defense and security, energy transition, and circular economy. \u0141ukasiewicz\u2019s first strategy was approved in December 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the cooperation with PIPC, it will be possible to respond more effectively to the challenges facing the sector\u2014from high energy costs to competitive pressure from outside the EU. \u201cChemical sector enterprises contribute significantly to Poland\u2019s GDP\u2014yet they face major challenges in increasing the innovativeness and competitiveness of their operational processes. The experience of our institutes is the answer to these challenges,\u201d summarized Hubert Cichocki, CEO of the \u0141ukasiewicz Research Network. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
