2 2 THE FUTURE OF THE STEEL MARKET It makes no sense to wait until you are bankrupt. Dr Wolfgang Eder, voestalpine CEO (Handelsblatt, 30 Aug. 2016) There are few industries in the world in which the signs point so strongly to change as in the steel industry: On the one hand, there is the matter of consolidation. Will large companies merge? How will this affect the overall market? Will this reduce overcapacities in Europe and across the globe? Moreover, the price of many steel products has now stabilised, which is also due to the European Union s successful fight against cheap imports from China. However, the Chinese government is responding with punitive tariffs, and there is a threat of economic warfare. The consequences of the global community s increased climate change efforts are still open to question. Are there new threats for the European steel industry due to increased emissions trading? What technological alternatives is the industry working on? Digitalisation is also changing steel production radically. A steelworks without people is no longer just a vision. Discuss these current developments and trends as part of 21 st Handelblatt Annual Conference Steel Market 2017 with important decision-makers from steel production, trading and processing. A conference with good market information and speakers. Held in an impressive, modern auditorium. Dr Jörg Kullmann, WIKUS We look forward to welcoming you in Düsseldorf on 16 and 17 February 2017! Grischa Brower-Rabinowitsch, head of companies and markets, Handelsblatt and Martin Wocher, editor of companies and markets, Handelsblatt The best opportunity to find out about the current situation of the steel industry in Europe.
