2025 Third China Steel Pipe Industry Innovation Development Conference

Notice on Holding the 2025 Third China Steel Pipe Industry Innovation Development Conference and the "Third Steel Pipe Craftsman" Award Ceremony
(Second Round)

Dear Member Enterprises and Relevant Units:

The "2025 Third China Steel Pipe Industry Innovation Development Conference and 'Third Steel Pipe Craftsman' Award Ceremony," jointly hosted by China Metallurgical News and the Shanghai Steel Pipe Industry Association, is scheduled to be held on March 27-28, 2025, at the Kaiyuan Hotel in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province.

This conference is being held at a critical juncture, driven by the "incremental policy" effects of the national strategy, as the steel industry undergoes deep strategic transformation, resource restructuring, operational adjustments, and model reconstruction. It promises to be a grand event where new development concepts focused on technology and innovation, green development, market operations, and upstream and downstream interactions in the Chinese steel pipe industry will collide. The theme of the conference will be "Developing New Productive Forces to Empower Innovation and Development in the Steel Pipe Industry," discussing topics such as intelligent development and digital transformation pathways in the steel pipe industry, the current status and prospects of industrial stainless steel pipes in China, recent research achievements and outlooks for pipes used in new energy applications, technological advancements and product improvements in stainless steel welded pipes, market demand and price outlook for carbon and stainless steel pipes, market research in thermal power generation and demand analysis for boiler pipes, prospects for the engineering machinery industry and new requirements for high-strength steel pipe products, and the opportunities and challenges faced by the steel structure prefabricated buildings and steel pipe industry. Notable academicians, professors, and leaders from the China Iron and Steel Association will be invited to present keynote speeches. Additionally, parallel sub-forums will feature renowned steel pipe experts from institutions such as China Baowu Steel Group, Jiuli Special Materials, Zhongke Innovation, and Northeast University to share new technologies, processes, outcomes, and ideas in the steel pipe sector. The "Third Steel Pipe Craftsman" award ceremony will also be held concurrently.

As we embrace transformation and upgrades for new chapters, we warmly welcome member units, industry organizations, and peers from steel pipe enterprises and their upstream and downstream sectors across the country to gather in beautiful Huzhou, Zhejiang, to exchange ideas, build consensus, and explore the path of transformation and development in the steel pipe industry.
