The Arab steel industry is facing major challenges: global overcapacity, market volatility, environmental pressures, and rapid technological change. More than ever, it must thoroughly analyses its markets and strengthen its strategic partnerships to remain competitive.

At the heart of global trade wars, our industry must urgently adapt and survive, while asserting its role in both the regional and global economy. Understanding global and regional trends, anticipating change, and relying on strong alliances will be key to succeeding in this transformation. Through cooperation, the exchange of experience, and the development of lasting partnerships, we can meet these challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.

It is in this spirit that we are pleased to invite you to the 18th Arab Iron and Steel Summit and Exhibition, to be held on 7–8 October 2025 in the vibrant city of Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. This prestigious event will bring together decision-makers, producers, experts, and innovators.
