ALUMINIUM Business Summit 2023

After its premiere in 2021, this year's ALUMINIUM Business Summit will be cast in a new form; a new concept with which we leave the classy aluminium bubble. Together, we want to take a look at the problems of the industry in a different light, we want to form comprehensive approaches and solutions together, we want to form a common language and to strengthen the position of aluminium in the world.

A common language for the future

The ALUMINIUM Business Summit will be an outstanding event. We will bring not just aluminium industry itself, but key decision makers from the entire value chain. From the energy sector, the automotive and packaging industry and from building and construction. We will discuss, on and off the stage, with representatives from NGOs and policy makers. The summit promises valuable insights from top-level executives, new perspectives and great chances to expand your network. See you in Düsseldorf in November!

I am looking forward to attending the ALUMINIUM Business Summit again this year. With the emphasis on strengthening the position of aluminium in the world, it is a transformative opportunity for industry players. Attending this Summit is more than just an investment; it's an indispensable commitment to shaping the future of the aluminium sector. Through networking with peers and engaging with senior-level executives, we are provided with the opportunity to gain invaluable insights, forge strategic alliances, and exchange ideas that will drive our sector forward. Together, we can pave the way for a sustainable, innovative, and resilient aluminium industry that will leave a lasting impact on the global stage.

The ALUMINIUM Business Summit brings together industry leaders, policy makers, and customers to think beyond conventional boundaries and collaborate on solutions to tackle today's pressing challenges like decarbonisation and the energy crisis. This summit is a testament to the power of collaboration, where diverse perspectives converge to chart the course for a sustainable and prosperous future of our industry in Europe.


Paul Voss
Director General, European Aluminium

The ambitious goals of Europe's energy transition can only be achieved through a significant increase in raw material capacities like aluminium. This requires quick action by the industry through targeted specialists - training, massive investments, and sustainable innovations.


Bernd Schäfer
CEO , Managing Director EIT RawMaterials

To address the huge challenges related to decarbonisation and circularity, a strong collaboration of all the players along the value chain is definitely needed. Additionally, cross-sectoral collaboration is also essential to boost industrial-urban symbiosis and reach full circularity. The Innovation Hub of European Aluminium acts as a key enabler addressing the key technological challenges to facilitate such a transition for the aluminium sector in Europe.


Christian Leroy
Director of Innovation at European Aluminium

Industry associations are a good example of what I call ‘collaborative competitiveness’ - where natural competitors work together to ensure sustainability of the complex economic, social and environmental ‘playing field’ in which they compete. AI is leading the way in managing the complexity of changes in this playing field by ensuring competition and incentive work to support sustainable and prosperous societies, economies, and environments.

The venue

Modernity meets classic industrial architecture: The STAHLWERK in the tradition-rich industrial area of Düsseldorf-Lierenfeld is one of the most exciting event locations in the region. The former Mannesmann residence scores with state-of-the-art technology, but at the same time has retained its industrial charm. In addition to the modern, spacious congress area, a cozy lounge area awaits visitors – as if made for networking.
