Amongst the contributors are the Prime Minister of Finland Matti Vanhanen, Governor of the Bank of Finland Erkki Liikanen, Mayor of Helsinki Jussi Pajunen and the Minister of Economic Affairs Mauri Pekkarinen. The organizational body of the HCF consists of the European Commission, European Chemical Agency and Chemicals Forum Association.

Helsinki Chemicals Forum will come together annually. It aims at bringing Helsinki into the spotlight as the world’s Chemical Capital, because of its role as holder of the European Union chemical depot.
