The UK’s Steel Strategy
Session Overview: In September, Secretary of State Jonathan Reynolds announced that the Government will publish a Steel Strategy in spring 2025, separate to the Industrial Strategy. The Steel Strategy will work in lockstep with the Industrial Strategy.
UK Steel, steel companies, and trade unions will all contribute to the development of the strategy over the coming months, advising on how to strategically build up our steel sector and what opportunities lie ahead for the industry.
Make UK’s March conference session will take place just weeks before the Steel Strategy is published. UK Steel’s breakout session will evaluate how the strategy could deliver a competitive business landscape to attract investment in the sector, level the playing field to give the industry a fair chance to gain market share and enable the strategic expansion of steelmaking capability and capacity.
Why Attend? In December, UK Steel will hold a Parliamentary Steel Summit to help shape the strategy’s objectives and its integration with the other Government missions. For example, Government is laser-focused on increasing the nation’s wind energy, infrastructure, housing and transport, but this growth must be strategically developed using UK-made steel and supply chains.
The follow-up break out session at the National Manufacturing Conference will continue the conversation, exploring insights into how the Steel Strategy is shaping up and how the UK’s steel sector is moving toward its growth.
Speakers to be announced soon.
