CORTEM Chennai

CORTEM has established itself as a leading forum for innovations, technologies, and solutions in the fields of corrosion prevention and surface refinement.

The annual conference takes place at the Chennai Trade Centre in southern India—a major economic hub with a maritime heritage and strong industrial relevance, particularly for the petrochemical, energy, and heavy manufacturing sectors. The event is organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), one of the country’s most influential industry associations, renowned for its efficient organization and close integration of business, research, and regulatory bodies.

CORTEM is more than just a technical conference. It is regarded as a global meeting point for professionals dedicated to preventing material degradation and advancing sustainable surface treatment methods. The program focuses on key topics such as surface engineering, coating technologies, corrosion protection, and environmentally responsible innovations. Attendees are presented with cutting-edge solutions ranging from high-performance coatings and nanotechnology to advanced cleaning and pretreatment processes, as well as smart sensors for corrosion monitoring.

The Chennai Trade Centre offers ideal conditions for international guests and industry professionals, thanks to its modern infrastructure, proximity to Chennai International Airport, and a wide range of nearby accommodations and services. This setting provides a professional environment for the global exchange of ideas on the latest developments and future-oriented technologies in corrosion technology.

The CORTEM takes place annually, and therefore for the third time previsibly in July 2026 in Chennai.
