Marc Vanderschueren, Head of Business Development at OCAS NV about steel, composites and large-scale testing

2026-03-1736:01

Europe’s ambition to remain a global industrial powerhouse increasingly depends on its ability to rethink materials, structures, and design philosophies. In offshore wind especially, fatigue has long been the invisible limiter — driving heavier structures, higher costs, and conservative engineering choices. In this episode of Future in Steel, we explore how that paradigm is changing. Hear out guest Marc Vanderschueren, Head of Business Development at OCAS NV, one of Europe’s leading steel and...

Marko Pavlovic: why bonded composite connections represent a true breakthrough

2026-02-1739:10

Europe’s ambition to remain an industrial and economic powerhouse depends on its ability to rethink not only energy systems, but also the fundamental technologies behind them. Offshore wind is a prime example — and at the heart of it lies a centuries-old bottleneck: welded steel connections. In this episode of Future in Steel, we speak to Marko Pavlovic, Associate professor at TU Delft, co-founder of Tree Composites, and inventor of a radically new way to connect steel structures....

Future in Steel: how the Composite Revolution makes Europe stronger

2026-01-0639:24

Welcome to Future in Steel — a podcast series about the Composite Revolution: an industrial transformation that makes Europe stronger. Because wherever steel joints are involved, the Composite Revolution means higher quality, up to four times longer service life, lower production costs, lower CO₂ emissions, reduced raw-material use, and more jobs in Europe instead of elsewhere in the world. In Future in Steel, you’ll hear what’s possible — from the people who truly know, working in the compan...
