As the global cement sector continues to transform at pace, Cemtech MEA 2025 offers all cement industry stakeholders a vibrant forum in which to explore the key trends facing cement producers. From market dynamics and trends in global cement and clinker trade to cement manufacturing technology and operational efficiency, this conference will ensure delegates are informed with the most up-to-date industry insights.
As national decarbonisation initiatives continue to strengthen, this major driving force will be examined from the perspective of the Middle East and Africa cement industry, where priorities favour practical, low-cost approaches that make use of existing, proven technologies and processes, ahead of more expensive and unproven carbon capture solutions.
The agenda will also focus on how decarbonisation and the shift to low carbon manufacturing can be a catalyst for growth, stimulating innovation and product development, as well as accelerating the adoption of best practice technologies.
Cemtech MEA 2025 is organised by International Cement Review with the kind support of the AUCBM and in association with knowledge partner, A3&Co®.
