Where mining leaders set global strategy
Join mining leaders, financiers and policymakers at the FT Metals & Mining Summit to gain insight into global mining strategies. Across two and a half days, understand how geopolitical competition, critical mineral security, rising demand and capital constraints are shaping investment and growth, with direct access to the senior decision-makers navigating these forces.
About the Metals & Mining Summit
The FT Metals & Mining Summit brings together chief executives, investors, dealmakers and government leaders to address the strategic issues shaping the global mining industry. Through CEO interviews and expert discussions, the Summit examines the forces transforming metals and mining — from geopolitics, critical mineral supply and capital allocation to changing demand, technology and responsible resource development — and what they mean for the industry's future.
What key themes will we discuss?
Critical minerals and geopolitics: How are industrial policy, trade tensions and national security concerns changing where critical minerals are produced, processed and traded?
Metals markets and supply: Can copper and other key metals keep pace with the demand from electrification, data centres and defence, and where could supply constraints emerge?
Capital and dealmaking: How are miners and investors approaching major projects and M&A as governments take a greater interest in strategic resources and capital discipline remains tight?
Technology and mining productivity: Where can automation, AI and advances in mining and processing improve productivity, safety and the economics of more complex deposits?
Mining, communities and stewardship: How can miners develop resources while strengthening community relationships and managing the long-term environmental responsibilities of mining?
Who will you meet?
Connect with mining’s key decision-makers. Build relationships with c-suites and executives from major mining companies alongside financiers, policymakers, traders and industry advisers. Dedicated networking across two and a half days creates opportunities to meet the people allocating capital, developing projects, shaping policy and making strategic decisions across the global metals and mining industry.
