Muscat to Host 18ᵗʰ GPCA Forum


The 18th Annual GPCA Forum, the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association’s (GPCA) flagship event, will take place for the first time in Oman at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre in Muscat from December 2 to December 5, 2024. The event will be hosted by OQ Group.

The forum will address the theme ‘Industry’s Next Chapter: Driving Sustainable Advancement for Global Progress’, attracting delegates from across the region and globally over four days of knowledge sharing, networking and collaboration.

The forum will open with welcome remarks from Eng Abdulrahman al-Fageeh, CEO, SABIC and Chairman, GPCA, followed by a ministerial address from H E Salim bin Nasser bin Said al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals, on December 2, 2024.

This year, the forum will unpack important themes, from clean energy transition to sustainability, shaping the future leaders, the challenge of feeding the world, the impact of geopolitics on the chemical industry, innovation and much more.

Now in its 18th edition, GPCA’s flagship event will combine an array of new and improved features including the 2nd GPCA Solutions Xchange Program, the 6th GPCA Legacy Award “Al Rowad”, the 3rd edition of the GPCA Youth Forum and much more.

For the first time this year, the forum will host the inaugural GPCA Startup Nexus, a brand new GPCA initiative which aims to foster innovation and collaboration by bridging the gap between the start-up ecosystem and the chemical and petrochemical industry in the region.

Dr Abdulwahab al-Sadoun, Secretary General of GPCA, said, “We look forward to welcoming delegates from across the region and the world to the prestigious Annual GPCA Forum, which this year will take place for the first time in Muscat. Attracting senior industry leaders from the chemical industry globally, the forum will offer an ideal opportunity to chart the future of the chemical industry in a redefined world, challenge the status quo, and provide an enabling environment for innovation and collaboration.”

“This year, we’ve introduced an array of new initiatives and forum features which have been designed to stimulate conversations and open up new ways of thinking that support the industry’s role in serving society more effectively, contributing to regional economies and creating a smarter, more sustainable future.”
