Securing the Elements of the Future

​A high-level dialogue and networking lunch on the evolving role of foundational materials in a shifting world — and the innovations that will reshape them.

​Steel. Concrete. Aluminium. Critical minerals. These are the raw foundations of every bridge, battery, and building, and of national and economic strength. But in a changing world, these industries must adapt.

​This session brings together established players and bold new challengers — from global incumbents to next-generation startups — for a high-energy dialogue on how foundational materials can stay essential, resilient, and competitive in the decades ahead.

​Join us to explore how innovation is unlocking new productivity, how buyers are raising the bar, and how startups are helping rewire the value chains that shape our built world and economy.

​A networking lunch will be provided.
