This Gold Nugget comes straight from the Euroguss show floor. Instead of a studio discussion, Fabian Niklas and Staffan Zetterström take the microphone into the exhibition halls and talk to people from across the entire value chain, OEMs, foundries, technology suppliers, alloy developers, associations, and young professionals.
By stitching together many short conversations, this episode creates a realistic snapshot of how the industry feels right now: what’s driving optimism, where uncertainty remains, and which topics will matter most as we move into 2026.

“Start to do something. Develop your business. Grow your business.”
What makes this episode special is its diversity of perspectives. Different regions, different roles, different levels of experience, but a surprisingly consistent conclusion. The industry is under pressure, yes, but it is also full of ideas, energy, and opportunity for those willing to act.
Euroguss shows that the future won’t be shaped by waiting for better conditions. It will be shaped by companies and individuals who invest, adapt, collaborate, and position themselves clearly.
If you want to understand how the industry sees itself heading into 2026, this episode is worth listening to all the way to the end.
