Award Synopsis
The prestigious SCI Canada Awards and dinner 2026 will build on the success of 2025 and previous years. This exclusive networking event brings together key members of the chemical and industrial communities to celebrate the significant and extensive achievements of the award winners. The event is pivotal in bringing science and business together by enabling and enhancing connections between industry, chemical science and engineering professionals across the board.
The 2025 event was preceded by an extremely well received Sustainable Innovation and Industry event. Industry experts from around the world discussed the opportunities and challenges of helping their organizations meet sustainability goals whilst maintaining a profitable business.
