Founded in 1918 in New York as the American Section of a French organization, Société de Chimie Industrielle has grown into a vibrant, independent nonprofit at the forefront of the chemical and life sciences industries. We bring together CEOs, scientists, investors, and policymakers through our acclaimed monthly luncheons and dynamic speaker series. We celebrate leadership and innovation with signature events such as the prestigious International Palladium Medal and the Excellence Awards Luncheon. Committed to shaping the future, we have provided more than $750,000 in scholarships and grants to nearly 150 promising students. Through these programs, Société fosters community, supports emerging talent, and champions scientific progress.
