Under the new circumstances of the global coVID-19 pandemic and unprecedented changes in the world in a century, the global steel industry is also facing persistent challenges from the earth’s ecology, the world economy, resources and energy.On October 19, the First board meeting of the World Iron and Steel Development Research Institute, jointly initiated by USTB and Hesteel Group Co., LTD., was held in Beijing.Gan Yong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the first President of the World Iron and Steel Development Research Institute, pointed out that it is necessary and timely to set up the World Iron and Steel Development Research Institute under the new situation that the steel industry faces many challenges.The World Iron and Steel Development Research Institute should look to the future and carry out top-level design from three aspects: what topic to study, what problems to solve and whose think tank to serve as.

The development of Chinese Academy of Engineering, the world’s iron and steel institute, director of the expert advisory committee rui-yu Yin believes that the world steel core content in the research of development institute, also is our country iron and steel industry to “iron power” must to complete the goal, will’s a major in the history of iron and steel industry, the pace to develop the high quality iron and steel industry development in our country.

The world steel association President, river steel group, chairman, party secretary of the new development of the institute for world steel in yong pointed out that the future development of iron and steel industry, iron and steel of the earth’s ecology, the impact of the world economy, and even the development of human civilization, has become the iron man need to confront and major issues to be solved.At present, China has become the center of the world’s steel industry. It can be predicted that under the background of China’s strong economic development, China’s steel will continue to lead the development of the world’s steel industry for a long time to come.

Gan yong believes that China’s iron and steel industry, which has entered the category of world-class power, has the responsibility and ability to make greater contributions to the development of the world steel industry.The World Iron and Steel Development Research Institute should stand on the global height of the industry, with high starting point, high standard, high quality and innovative and forward-looking subject research, trace the influence of the iron and steel development process on the social economy and human sciences, and explore the way to realize the high-quality development of the iron and steel industry.We should continue to pay attention to the impact of the steel industry on global resources, energy and environment in the future, and analyze and discuss the impact of new technologies such as 5G, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, sharing economy and block chain on the industrial model and future development trend, such as the possibility of replacing enterprise economy with platform economy.Adhering to the differentiation of the research direction, pay attention to the synergy and social sciences, department of macro economic development, focusing on steel with the global economy, the future of steel, and the relationship between the urban ecological, discusses the future development of steel are faced with the common problems and the way of development, promote the iron and steel and the human society, natural environment, the construction of a harmonious symbiosis industrial ecosystem and publishing industry development trends, patterns, as authorities the high quality of research results, to provide intellectual support for decision-making body, industry consulting, for the global steel industry sustainable development and the progress of human civilization.

Yin ruiyu pointed out that steel is the industrial backbone that supports the country’s development and economic construction, and also reflects an important symbol of a country’s comprehensive strength.The development of China’s iron and steel industry in the past 70 years has met the needs of national economic development and successfully solved the quantitative problems of “whether” and “enough”.“At present, The development of China’s iron and steel industry is facing a new situation and a higher pursuit. The global iron and steel industry should solve the common proposition of green, intelligent and branding.”“Yin said. 

Yu yong, stressed that China’s steel must stand in the sustainable development and the height of the “to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”, to create economic value and create strategic value as the main direction, strengthen the strategic research and practice of sustainable development of iron and steel, hard leave “iron mark” for national economic and social development, for the world steel industry flipping the “Chinese seal”
