The European steel industry employs over 300,000 people directly and supports millions more indirectly. As the backbone of many key industrial value chains, including clean technologies from renewables to electric vehicles, steel has been foundational to the European Union, driving prosperity, resilience, and innovation.

Yet European steel’s viability and leadership in breakthrough decarbonisation projects - worth billions in investments - are now under threat. Global steel overcapacity, unfair trade practices, high energy costs, and increasing carbon prices are eroding Europe’s industrial competitiveness, as highlighted in the recent Draghi Report.

Can the EU’s renewed focus on industrial competitiveness and the proposed Steel Action Plan be the solution? What does it take to shape an actionable, timely European Steel Action Plan to address these crucial challenges?

Join this EUROFER Conference - running alongside the exhibition “Steel: At the Heart of Europe – Stronger with European Steel”, hosted at the European Parliament from 19 to 21 November - to discuss these pressing questions with Members of the European Parliament, steel industry leaders, and social partners.

At this pivotal time - just days before the new European Commission begins its work, with President Ursula von der Leyen’s pledge to take decisive action within the first 100 days - panellists will exchange views on:
· What immediate actions are needed to secure investments in green steel and protect quality jobs in Europe;
· How to craft a strategic, full set of measures across all policy areas to ensure Europe’s competitive edge in the race for climate-neutral production;
· Why an EU Steel Action Plan is urgently needed not only to safeguard a sustainable future for the sector, but to ensure the resilience of Europe’s entire industrial ecosystem.
