Chemspec Europe 2025, the 38th edition of the international exhibition for fine and speciality chemicals, will take place on 4-5 June in Halls 4.2 and 5.2 at Messe Köln in Germany, the first time it has taken place here since 2015.

This year, Chemspec Europe has revamped its content structure and exhibitor segmentation to enhance the show experience. Exhibitor profiles have been categorised by sector, product group, key properties, substance class and company type. A new feature is the New Exhibitor Zone, highlighting first-time participants from Europe, the US and Japan. This is strategically positioned in a high-traffic area.
The conference programme has been upgraded with expanded content. Returning this year are the Agrichemical, Pharmaceutical and Regulations Stages, while the Insights Stage is new for 2025. Times, subjects and speakers( where available)
