S4 E25: Asam Hussain, CEO & Founder, Arabian Gulf Steel Industries

Asam joins the Fastmarkets Live Lounge to discuss how circular manufacturing, low-carbon production and net zero steel are reshaping the Middle East steel industry. The conversation explores why smaller, more resilient steel models can outperform traditional scale-driven production, how green financing is accelerating industrial transformation, and why localised supply chains are becoming central to decarbonisation strategies. Asam also shares insights on the UAE’s role in leading sustainable steel innovation and what responsible growth looks like for heavy industry in the Gulf. Recorded live at the Fastmarkets Middle East Iron & Steel Conference 2026 in Dubai.
