The establishment of the Chemical Industry Vision2020 Technology Partnership (Vision2020) represents an important milestone in the development of ITP Chemicals. For the first time, an industry organization represents the needs of the entire chemical industry, bridging diverse interests and creating a unified voice. Vision2020 provides the Chemicals IOF with a more focused industrial partnership effort and increased potential for industry-wide implementation of ITP projects. The organization plays an active role in shaping the Chemicals IOF portfolio by recommending technical areas for solicitations and providing technical evaluation of the R&D portfolio. Vision2020's priorities are addressed by the Chemicals IOF portfolio.
