The Future Minerals Forum 2026 is the world’s premier government-led minerals and mining platform, taking place 13–15 January 2026 at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center (KAICC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Hosted under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, this three-day event brings together ministers, industry leaders, investors, policymakers, academia and multilateral organisations from across the global minerals value chain to address resilient, responsible and sustainable mineral and metal supply — a cornerstone for global economic development and the energy transition.
With a comprehensive programme featuring high-level Ministerial Roundtables, thematic knowledge exchanges, networking opportunities, national pavilions, and an international exhibition, the Forum serves as a strategic hub for policy dialogue, investment matchmaking, technological innovation and public-private collaboration spanning exploration, processing and downstream sectors.
Recognised as a catalyst for shaping global mineral ecosystems and fostering partnerships that underpin future infrastructure, clean energy and industrial growth, FMF draws thousands of delegates and hundreds of speakers from around the world.
