Established in 2015, MINEX Europe Forum focuses specifically on mining, exploration and processing opportunities in Europe, particularly in countries that are rich in mineral resources but may not always receive as much global attention as major mining hubs like Canada, Australia, or Latin America. The Forum adopts a nomadic format, rotating between different host countries each year. The previous Forums were held in Portugal, Czech Republic, Poland, Albania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Serbia and Austria. This approach enables a deeper understanding of the complex role the mining industry plays in the economy and social fabric of each host country while empowering local participants with new connections, best practices, and knowledge from across Europe and overseas. By engaging with industry leaders and policymakers, attendees actively contribute to the future of sustainable mineral extraction across the continent.

The 10th MINEX Europe Forum 2026 brings policymakers, miners, processors, investors, technology leaders, service providers and community voices together for three days of high-level discussion and practical dealmaking. At a time when Europe needs faster project development, stronger supply chains and greater public trust, the Forum will focus on what it takes to move from ambition to delivery. From permitting and finance to processing, skills, innovation and social licence, MINEX Europe Forum is where the continent’s raw materials conversation becomes action.
