3rd Iran Non-Ferrous Metals Industries Market & Related Technologies Conference & Expo

About Conference

Different kinds of non-ferrous metals such as Copper, Aluminum, Lead, Zinc, and Gold are among the widely used raw materials in the base and strategic industries. Optimized usage and creating value-added from these metals’ resources are applicable by innovative and strategic plans. These metals industries are an ideal opportunity for exporting and absorbing foreign currencies. A remarkable example of this fact is that exporting copper products increased to more than a doubled amount in the previous year.

The necessity of focusing on these industries, the successful experience of holding “Iran Non-Ferrous Industries Market & Related Technologies Conference & Expo” for previous two years, and the audiences’ feedback explaining that the presented content was useful, Donya-e-Eqtesad Media Group decided to hold the event for the third time in cooperation with National Iranian Copper Industries Company. The goal of holding such an event is to create an opportunity for the prominent effective sides: government, private sector, and domestic and international associations to exchange their ideas and information. Hopefully, the goal will be achieved by the cooperation between all the effective sides.

Regarding the recent situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, holding the conference will be pursuant to the rules and protocols that will be announced in those days.
