SDR Summit 2023 is bursting with energy!

Our port and industrial cluster is electric! This was clearly evident during our annual Smart Delta Resources Summit at RodeBol Events in Ghent, where we reflected on our new cross-border vision. A vision that does not start with factories and technology, but one that puts people and society at the center. Moreover, it is a vision that focuses not only on the chimney, but also on raw materials. This vision will soon be available externally.
Together with our members and a number of relevant stakeholders, we engaged in debate about the future of (fossil) carbon, the raison d'être of our industry, a nature-inclusive transition, the link with our environment, and so much more.

Thank you!
