Xie Wei, Deputy Secretary-General of the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government; Chen Zhuowu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangdong University of Technology; Wang Xinjiang, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Chinese Society for Metals; and Hua Xuchu, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and Technology, delivered speeches respectively. Chen Derong, former Party Secretary and Chairman of China Baowu Steel Group; Tian Guobing, Party Secretary and Chairman of Baosight Software; Wen Dun, General Manager of Zhanjiang Iron & Steel; Fan Tiejun, Vice President of China Metallurgical News; and Chen Zhuo, Party Secretary, President, and Editor-in-Chief of Metallurgical Industry Press, attended the meeting. Wang Zhongbing, Dean of the Interdisciplinary Research Institute for Low-Carbon Metallurgical Engineering Innovation at Guangdong University of Technology, presided over the opening ceremony.

Che Yanmin, Deputy Secretary-General of the Chinese Society for Metals, read the congratulatory letter on behalf of Yin Ruiyu. Yin Ruiyu stated that the convening of this conference is a pragmatic measure to promote the deep integration of industrial innovation and technological innovation. He shared his thoughts on metallurgical process science, pointing out that the steel manufacturing process is a whole with multi-objective collaborative optimization, revealing the inherent synergistic laws among material flow, energy flow, and information flow from the perspectives of procedures, processes, and integration. He hoped that industry colleagues would strengthen and deepen collaboration to promote the intelligent, green, and integrated development of the steel industry. In their speeches, Xie Wei, Chen Zhuowu, Wang Xinjiang, and Hua Xuchu stated that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is an important hub for the consumption, production, and innovation of advanced manufacturing and steel materials. This conference is of great significance for building a high-end exchange platform, gathering industry innovation synergy, and serving the construction of the Greater Bay Area as an international science and technology innovation center. All parties will continue to deepen coordination, support breakthroughs in low-carbon metallurgy technology, the research and development of advanced materials, and the implementation of achievements, and support the construction of the Greater Bay Area into a world-class highland for green metallurgy and advanced metal materials industries.

At the conference, Zhang Tongyi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Mao Xinping, Zhu Rong, and Li Hongxia, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered keynote reports respectively. Experts and scholars from institutions such as Northeastern University, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Guangdong University of Technology, China Iron & Steel Research Institute Group, Zhanjiang Iron & Steel, China Metallurgical Information and Standardization Institute, Henan Academy of Sciences, and CISDI Engineering Co., Ltd. gave invited reports. The conference held an unveiling ceremony for the Joint Research and Development Base of the State Key Laboratory of Green and Low-Carbon Steel Metallurgy in the Greater Bay Area (at Guangdong University of Technology). It was introduced that this base will be built into a comprehensive innovation carrier integrating scientific research, technology development, achievement transformation, and high-end talent cultivation. The conference also held a launch ceremony for the new book "Hydrogen-Based Shaft Furnace—Electric Furnace Compact Process Metallurgy" (see related news). The conference set up three parallel sessions: Low-Carbon Metallurgy, Metallurgical Intelligentization, and Advanced Green Metal Materials. More than 400 representatives from local government departments, industry associations (societies), higher education institutions, steel enterprises, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain attended the meeting. This conference was jointly hosted by the Chinese Society for Metals, the State Key Laboratory of New Metal Materials, and the State Key Laboratory of Green and Low-Carbon Steel Metallurgy, jointly organized by Guangdong University of Technology and Zhanjiang Iron & Steel, and co-organized by relevant units including Metallurgical Industry Press.
