ANKIROS: The Nexus of Steel Industry and Emerging Technologies

ANKIROS is recognized as one of the premier specialized exhibitions for the iron, steel, metallurgy, and foundry sectors across the Eurasia, Middle East, and Balkan regions. By convening manufacturers, equipment suppliers, technology firms, experts, investors, and industrial buyers, the exhibition creates a comprehensive environment for showcasing capabilities and examining the latest sector developments.

Held biennially in Istanbul since 1992, ANKIROS has evolved over the past decades into a crucial networking hub for companies active in the metals industries. Türkiye’s strategic geographical location, bridging markets in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, further enhances the event's significance for expanding commercial and industrial interactions.

The current edition of the exhibition spans various sectors of the steel and metallurgy supply chain—from raw materials and industrial products to machinery, production equipment, foundry technologies, and recycling solutions. This diverse thematic scope enables the evaluation of technical and industrial solutions for companies operating across all segments of the value chain.
