The study was conducted by Real Consulting, researchers in resource economics. Dominic Mitchell, who presented the results to the delegates at the BRICS Foundry Forum, warned that industries tend to buy into rumours about the incentives and support offered by other countries.“ We need to explode these myths by taking a closer look at this issue,” he said.
An industry think tank session was held to discuss how the global metal casting market is changing and how BRICS countries can play a role in shaping global foundry markets.“ We share a number of issues across developing countries such as energy and conversion.
These were discussed at length and the level of engagement amongst delegates was incredible,” said El-Mohamadi.
The quality of technical speakers at the conference was outstanding. Delegates rated the topics, the presenters and the programme very highly. The event was well organised and co-ordinated – congratulations to all involved.
