Saudi Arabia will host the fourth edition of the Future Minerals Forum from January 14 to 16, 2025

Under the auspices of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, Saudi Arabia will host the fourth edition of the Future Minerals Forum (FMF), the preeminent global venue for minerals, from January 14–16, 2025. The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources will host the FMF at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Centre in Riyadh with the subject "Achieving Impact." It would centre on strengthening collaboration amongst nations that produce minerals, endorsing sustainable projects to foster confidence, and developing a robust supply chain for the essential minerals that the world requires.

The potential of new mining areas in the manufacturing sectors, luring investments to the mining and processing sectors, assessing the role of the minerals sector in community development, and securing clean energy as a source of cutting-edge technology are just a few of the topics that the Ministry of Industry has identified for discussion. 

Notable attendance at the third edition of the conference, held in January 2024, included over 14,000 heads of investment, heads of the biggest mining companies, and technical experts and specialists from 133 countries, in addition to 100 sponsors and exhibitors. About 70 sessions of the conference featured 250 speakers, including ministers, ambassadors, and heads of delegations.
