CHROMIUM 2025

The unique industry forum for global chrome leaders across the value chain since 1984!

Seville, Spain

4-6 November 2025

The International Chromium Development Association is pleased to announce that it will host its landmark conference, Chromium, in Seville, Spain on 4-6 November 2025.

Key insights have been provided by recent conferences held in both the China and South Africa, which currently are the leading forces in the chrome industry. It is now time to examine the current state of the European market, which is at a critical turning point. The emergence of Europe as a new economic and political bloc between the USA and the Global South has coincided with significant shifting trends in the region's industrial competitiveness.

The region has been affected by international trade wars and geopolitical conflicts, as well as its complex regulatory environment in comparison to other jurisdictions. These factors have had a significant impact on the local ferroalloy and stainless-steel sectors.

The new geopolitical landscape is prompting a rethinking of industrial strategy.

The panel discussions will address the following key questions:

- What is the European strategy for addressing these challenges and re-industrialising?

- Could Europe become a driving industrial force once again?

- What is the current outlook on the Europe-China relationship in the context of the US trade war and geopolitical landscape?

- What are the future prospects for the ferroalloys and stainless steel industry in Europe, and how will the EU safeguard critical industrial sectors and ensure a reliable chrome supply?

- Which innovative uses of chromium are set to play a role in the energy transition and technology of the future?

- How sustainability and ESG are reshaping the mining and metals sector and are key to attracting investment.
