Critical Minerals & Energy Investment Conference and Exhibition 2023 | Spire Events | 19 September 2023 | Novotel Perth Langley, 221 Adelaide Terrace, Perth WA 6000, Australia

Explore australia’s critical minerals strategy & hydrogen energy opportunities spurring investment & innovation as well as discover potential of critical energy resources in americas, asia, africa and europe for mining, renewable energy, automotive, aerospace, defence, telecommunications and agritech industries.

Critical Minerals & Energy Investment Conference and Exhibition is Australia’s only event dedicated to critical

minerals sector discussing all aspects of exploration opportunities for traditional and emerging commodities,

investment strategies, development of new technologies from mobile phones to fighter jets, critical infrastructure, transport, security & renewable energy and expansion of downstream processing to meet future global demand.

Australia has been blessed with extraordinary reserves of the critical minerals and produce around half the world’s lithium, is the second-largest producer of cobalt and the fourth-largest producer of rare earths. The Government has plans to grow Australia into a critical minerals powerhouse to support supply chain diversification and security of supply on a global scale. Up to now, production has been concentrated in a few countries and is subject to disruptive geopolitical & market challenges, while rapidly rising demand could result in shortages. The event looks at key elements to responsible sourcing and processing, green investment economy, as well as hydrogen that plays a crucial role in the global energy market’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

We anticipate 300 senior level executives, including over 25 mining companies ranging from explorers, juniors to mid-tier producers, majors and processors for two days of partnering, networking and business matching.
