Iran's Non-Ferrous Industries Surveyed at Tehran Conference: Report

The Second Iran Non-Ferrous Industries Market and Related Technologies Conference and Expo was hosted by Donya-e-Eqtesad Media Group, the Financial Tribune's parent company, at Tehran's IRIB Conference Center on Tuesday.
"This conference is aimed at creating national unison to come up with a clear overview of challenges as well as a common approach to devise the framework of a roadmap for non-ferrous industries," Alireza Bakhtiari, the CEO of the media group, said in an address at the opening of the event.
"The lack of a national roadmap that can act as a guide and a foundation for long-term policymaking for non-ferrous industries has been identified as a fundamental obstacle. But the more important issue to solve this shortcoming is the different approaches of the authorities, policymakers, experts and active players of this industry about the challenges facing this industry. This has made it difficult to reach a common understanding about the features of a roadmap," he added.
According to Bakhtiari, more than 50 firms, associations, specialized organizations, experts and senior managers in non-ferrous industries have attended the conference, apart from foreign experts from European and Asian countries.
