Singapore.
As part of the 16th Asian Ferro-alloys Conference,
This one-day seminar will welcome silicon-related
businesses along the whole silicon metal supply
chain. The ever-dominant position of the aluminium
industry in the consumption of silicon metal, the rise
of silicones production in Asia and the hype behind and
growth potential for polysilicon used in renewables
are on the top agenda during the seminar.
With Singapore as the trading hub of commodities in

in an industry whose upstream segments are shifting
significantly towards the region, and to meet
businesses within the supply chain.
