Steel

2026 Asia Steel Forum is the premier strategic conference designed to navigate the industry’s most pressing challenges: decarbonization, trade fragmentation, and the transformative role of artificial intelligence. As the global steel landscape fragments into regional blocs defined by carbon borders and tariff walls, a new frontier is emerging—the application of AI to optimize production, reduce emissions, and navigate complex trade compliance.

 

This event provides a critical platform for stakeholders to map the new contours of trade, technology, and sustainability. Building on the dialogue from last year’s forum, the 2026 edition brings together C-suite executives, policymakers, technology innovators, and AI specialists from China, Japan, India, Korea, and key players from Southeast Asia, the USA, and Europe. The agenda is uniquely crafted to dissect how artificial intelligence is reshaping steelmaking processes, supply chain resilience, and competitive advantage—while navigating the collision of geopolitics and green steel.
