Remarks at the 2026 POSCO Forum… “We must open a new path to growth”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Chang-yong = POSCO Group Chairman Jang In-hwa said on the 17th, "In a period of great change in competition, such as geopolitical reorganization and technological paradigm shifts, quick execution is the key to survival. We must first read the direction of change and find a clear answer."

Chairman Jang said this at the '2026 POSCO Forum' held at the POSCO Global R&D Center in Songdo, Incheon, and asked, "Let's open a new path to growth with bold goals and bold execution."

In addition, he presented ▲ steel localization strategy ▲ preoccupying major lithium and rare earth markets ▲ buffering role in the energy business as key tasks and emphasized, "We must apply differentiated growth logic by considering the different business environments for each business."

The POSCO Forum is a place where all executives of the group gather together to discuss future growth and innovation plans and listen to the opinions of external experts.

This year's forum will be held for two days starting today under the theme of 'Seize future value in the new competitive landscape.'
