With global aluminium demand projected to increase by almost 40 per cent by 2030, the aluminium sector will need to produce an additional 33.3 Mt to meet demand growth in all industrial sectors.

This will only be possible through the inception of streamlined technologies, digital manufacturing and sustainable solutions across the supply chain.

Originally launched in 2018, the Future Aluminium Forum has focused on the challenges of implementing digitalisation and technologies associated with Industry 4.0 such as Digital Twins, the Industrial Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

In 2023, the Forum will return in a live format to Québec City, a region where the aluminium industry has existed for more than a century and is now seeing rapid change and collaboration between manufacturers, processors, suppliers and OEMs.

With a dynamic industrial cluster and several research centres occupying a special place at the heart of this aluminium sector, Québec City is perfectly positioned to play host to the next Forum and welcome discussions and presentations about what the future of aluminium production looks like.
