Mohammad Motaghi, head of the exhibition’s policy council
and director of downstream industries development at NPC, said IranPlast,
slated to be run on September 8 to 11, is now one of the region’s most
prominent industry fairs, serving as both a showcase of petrochemical products
and a hub for innovation.
“Exhibitors are no longer just displaying goods. They are
upgrading quality, presenting technologies, and attracting targeted customers,
which strengthens their market position,” Motaghi told NIPNA.
He highlighted the separation of policy-making from
executive management in this year’s exhibition, noting that the new council
aligns the event with strategic industry objectives, including investment
attraction and value-chain development.
A new domestic B2B platform is also being launched to
connect petrochemical producers with local equipment manufacturers,
universities, and technology firms, creating opportunities for new projects and
investment.
Motaghi said global megatrends such as the energy
transition, climate change, and restrictions on plastics use are reshaping the
industry. “IranPlast must monitor these developments and provide practical
responses, showcasing innovative projects that address these challenges,” he
added.
This year’s exhibition, themed “Investment for
Production”, will place special emphasis on linking companies with
investors, identifying new market needs, and supporting sustainable business
growth.
