Among the speakers will be heads of leading European and global steel companies, in particular, an editor from the steel department of Argus Media Lora Stoyanova. She specializes in the analysis of flat rolled markets in Southern Europe and the Black Sea region.

The program will focus on:

  • sustainable development in conditions of energy uncertainty;

WSD panels:

  • International Steel: a bifurcating global market;
  • green steel hubs;

The European steel market is at a crossroads due to the ongoing crisis, the war in Ukraine and the need to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
