China International Steel
Congress, organized biennially by CISA and MC-CCPIT, is a high-level
conference focusing on the profound, overall and strategic issues facing
the steel industry. Since its establishment in 2000, the congress has
been successfully held for four times and has become one of the most
important steel events in the world. The 4th China International Steel
Congress held in Beijing in April 2006, brought together over 1,000
delegates from 25 countries and regions.
Along with the continuous
growth of the world economy, the world steel makers have experienced
an unprecedented growth in the past several years. At present time,
the economic and social development is increasingly constrained by resource
shortage and environmental protection, and the living environment of
the humankind is under more and more severe challenge. To strengthen
resource conservation and environmental protection has become one of
the most important tasks facing the human society. Transforming growth
mode and building up resource-conserving and environment-friendly steel
industry has become the most important subject of the global steel community.
We therefore defined Green Steel as the theme of the 5th China International
Steel Congress.
The Congress will include
a Plenary Session on June 2 and several Technical Seminars from June
3 to 4. The Plenary Session will be conducted in the form of panel discussions,
covering political and economic environment, restructuring, technological
innovations and green application of steel. The panelists invited include
the Chairmen (or CEOs) of Arcelor Mittal, Nippon Steel, POSCO, US Steel,
ThyssenKrupp, Tata Steel, Severstal, Baosteel, Ansteel, WISCO, Shougang,
Tangshan Steel, Taiyuan Steel, Shasteel and Valin Group, etc. The Technical
Seminars, held in conjunction with Metal+Metallurgy Expo, will present
the state-of-the-art green technologies in iron-making, steel-making,
continuous casting, hot rolling, cold rolling and casting. Metal+Metallurgy
Expo will take place from June 3 to 6, 2008 at Shanghai New International
Expo Center.
