European Steel Technology Platform - ESTEP

>> Created in 2004, the European Steel Technology Platform - ESTEP brings together the whole European steel industry, research centres, universities, the European Commission and Member States, as well as the other European institutions and trade unions.

>> The ESTEP

• expresses the major ambition of the steel industry, looking forward to 2030: the consolidation of undisputed leadership in sustainable development, given the rapid development in other parts of the world, notably Asia.
• represents a response to the challenges that lie before us: the growing impact of globalisation, the matching of steel supply and demand, environmental constraints, changing EU regulations and the strengthening of the EU-25 partnership.
