Intelligence, Association Partnerships for Industry Success
Informex is committed to working closely with key industry associations and
market research firms to promote the event, as well as foster industry growth
and attendees’ professional development.
With its on-going partnership with SOCMA, InformEx meets with the association
and many of its members throughout the year to ensure Informex is building a
high value and relevant event for the chemical industry. Informex also attends and
supports SOCMA’s events and participates in member activities throughout the year.
Recently, InformEx & PIERS, The Standard in Trade Intelligence, partnered
to create a one-of-a-kind report available for free download that examined top
markets for U.S. chemical exports based on the volume of waterborne shipments.
The report, Market Opportunities for U.S. Chemical Exports: An Examination of
Growth Across Major Markets, examined top markets for U.S. chemical exports
classified under chapters 28 & 29 of the harmonized tariff schedule.
In each of these markets, the report provides a macro-assessment of selected
commodities that have shown significant growth between 2007 and 2011 and
are traded in relatively high volume. The report was designed to give chemical
manufacturers, distributors, end users, and those servicing the chemical supply
chain, a high-level of view of top markets based on aggregate data for U.S.
chemical exports.
At the show this year, Informex partnered with BIOCOM, the largest regional life
science association in the world, representing more than 550 member companies in
Southern California. The association focuses on initiatives that positively influence
the region’s life science community in the development and delivery of innovative
products that improve health and quality of life. Its members where invited to
attend Informex and benefit from the networking, sourcing, and educational
opportunities that are presented here.
Informex also works with the Chemical Educational Foundation to promote and
enhance science education among every generation.
RX-360 and Green Chemistry Institute of the American Chemical Society help to
develop content and foster industry collaboration and awareness.
In the coming year, Informex will be working with even more associations and
content providers to extend its reach and best serve the needs of the industry.
