Against a backdrop of dynamic geopolitical shifts, the Forum has become a vital platform for discussing supply security within EU and NATO frameworks. The programme is divided into specialised thematic blocks addressing the most pressing challenges of the modern economy:
- Copper Industry Summit: An international forum dedicated to the copper market. We explore new deposits, investment landscapes, and the pivotal role of copper in the energy transition and electromobility - all underpinned by automation and AI.
- Critical Minerals & Rare Metals Congress: A deep dive into the critical minerals (lithium, graphite, cobalt, rare earth elements) essential for the green transition. We tackle the geopolitics of resources and emerging mining frontiers across Africa, South America, and beyond.
- Coal & Energy Security Conference: An analysis of the current and future role of coal-based power in national security, low-emission technologies (CCS/CCUS), and the modernisation of power units.
The Forum looks beyond traditional mining, covering the broader extractive industry and its societal impact:
- Aggregates & Construction Minerals Forum: A session focused on the market for aggregates, lime, and dolomite. We highlight production technologies, recycling, and the export potential of Polish stone raw materials for global construction and infrastructure.
- Mining Regions Transformation Forum: A crucial voice in the conversation on transforming mining regions across Poland and Europe. We address the evolving labour market, workforce upskilling, and the development of new expertise in mining tech.
The Future Mining Forum is where theory meets business reality. Participants gain exclusive access to market trends, technological breakthroughs, and upcoming shifts in raw material policy. It is an unmissable opportunity to network with thought leaders and decision-makers who are actively shaping a modern, resilient, and future-proof industry.
