This meeting will provide an opportunity for sector professionals to come together, share knowledge and experiences, and seek solutions to challenges with different perspectives. It will be a highly important platform in terms of addressing the key issues that will shape the future of the industry. Moreover, it is a great honor and excitement for us to host Prof. Karen Scrivener, a global thought leader on calcined clay, which could become one of the major levers for the decarbonization of the cement industry, and to bring her together with sector representatives at such an event. Similar to this, we will continue to organize further initiatives on topics such as Green Cement, which will shed light on the future of the sector’s decarbonization.”
