More than 400 major industry players from the Asian steel sector, including industry experts, associated trade associations and government representatives joined the 2024 Southeast Asia Iron and Steel Institute (SEAISI) Conference and Exhibition at the central city’s Ariyana Convention Centre, featuring a series of trade promotions and special seminars that introduce the latest steel production technologies and provide forecasts on global steel demand in the coming years.

The conference, themed ‘Surviving and Thriving in the Decarbonised World’, was a way for steel producers to share business strategies, their approach to advanced technologies and gain information from regional partners.
Chairman of the Việt Nam Steel Association, Nghiêm Xuân Đa, said: “The conference is an excellent opportunity for us to discuss policy development, technology and the challenges and opportunities of working towards a sustainable green steel industry.”
Dr. Edwin Basson, Director General of the World Steel Association, said global steel production has increased tenfold since the 1950s. The steel industry has been profoundly impacted by four major trends intensified by the pandemic, which have brought significant changes: technological advances, socio-economic transformations, geopolitical shifts, and notably, climate change.
