The Basque Energy Cluster Association (ACE) took part in STEEL TECH 2021, held on 19, 20 and 21 October at Bilbao Exhibition Centre. In its first edition, STEEL TECH has positioned itself as the international benchmark meeting point in southern Europe for the steel sector.
The event, organised by BILBAO EXHIBITION CENTRE and SIDEREX – Cluster Association of the Steel Industry, brought together the main stakeholders in the value chain in a space with two different sections, the congress, and the exhibition. Focused on innovation and technology in the iron and steel sector, the congress was attended by many experts from leading firms such as ARCELORMITTAL, GESTAMP, and DANIELI AUTOMATION. At the same time, the exhibiting area provided a quality space for supplier companies from the different levels of the value chain of the steel sector to showcase their products and services.
As part of the event, the session called 'Steel Solutions for the Energy Sector' addressed the topic of steel solutions and applications in the Energy sector. This session, in the organisation of which ACE has supported SIDEREX, served as a technological forum and meeting point for reflection on the application of steel in different energy fields, with speakers from leading entities such as WINDAR, IDOM, CENIM-CSIC, or TUBACEX.
Likewise, ACE, through its Project Manager Marcos Suarez, participated in the round table on 'Steel Solutions for Energy'. During the debate, Marcos highlighted the close relationship between the energy sector and steel, pointing out that the expected exponential growth of the renewable energy market will necessarily require a steel supply chain prepared to face it. He also highlighted the importance of initiatives such as the HARSHLAB laboratory, which will make it possible to carry out tests and trials of new materials and developments for the offshore industry.
