This congress not only facilitates knowledge exchange and networking but also addresses emerging trends and challenges in the industry, driving progress and innovation. By focusing on sustainability and innovation, the 2025 IFC will play a crucial role in shaping the future of forging, ensuring that the industry continues to evolve and contribute positively to global development.
