The event will be a deep dive into the intricate web of the mining value chains, exploring the pivotal role of critical raw materials in shaping our global future, and green transition. Our aim will be to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas, insights, and solutions, uniting experts, industry leaders, and visionaries from two diverse mining powerhouses. Sweden and South Africa, each with its rich mineral resources, will serve as the backdrop for a comprehensive exploration of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the extraction, processing, and utilization of critical raw materials. We will talk about the complexities of securing a sustainable supply of critical raw materials, navigating environmental considerations, technological innovations, and geopolitical influences. Engage in thought-provoking discussions on responsible mining practices, circular economy principles, and the role of emerging technologies in shaping the future of the mining industry.
