The ESTEP Annual Event 2025 aims at bringing together the European steel community to explore research and innovation in decarbonization, digitization, and circular solutions that will shape the sustainable future of the European steel industry.
Achievements, challenges, and future perspectives will be examined through contributions from diverse European steelmaking stakeholders and presentations of ongoing projects under the Clean Steel Partnership. The event will foster dialogue between the steel sector and other key industries engaged in the European Green Deal—such as for e.g. cement, water, and aluminium—to promote industrial symbiosis and cross-sector collaboration.
