The International Chromium Development Association is pleased to announce that it will host its landmark conference, Chromium, in Seville, Spain.
Key insights have been provided by recent conferences held in both the China and South Africa, which currently are the leading forces in the chrome industry. It is now time to examine the current state of the European market, which is at a critical turning point. The emergence of Europe as a new economic and political bloc between the USA and the Global South has coincided with significant shifting trends in the region's industrial competitiveness.
The region has been affected by international trade wars and geopolitical conflicts, as well as its complex regulatory environment in comparison to other jurisdictions. These factors have had a significant impact on the local ferroalloy and stainless steel sectors.
The new geopolitical landscape is prompting a rethinking of industrial strategy.
Please find below a non-exhaustive list of the themes that will be covered:
- Macro-economy
- Geopolitics
- Stainless steel markets and end-uses
- Chrome and ferrochrome (global and regional markets)
- Chrome chemicals and end-uses (plating, leather, aerospace and defence)
- Ferronickel (global and regional markets)
- Regulatory policies (global and regional)
- Green transition
- ESG
