The MiningForum is the leading international conference for the mining and raw materials sector in Germany and a central networking platform for the industry. The two-day event brings together leading international experts, decision-makers and thought leaders in Berlin to discuss the most pressing challenges and opportunities for a stable long-term supply of raw materials. In view of the growing demand for raw materials and increasingly fragile supply chains, the focus is shifting to securing a sustainable supply. The MiningForum offers a platform for working together on sustainable solutions, implementing them at the same time and driving innovation.
In view of geopolitical upheavals and fragile supply chains, the supply of raw materials is facing more and more challenges. A strong German and European raw materials sector will help to reduce dependencies and secure long-term economic growth, social prosperity and technological progress. The MiningForum brings together the relevant players - from politics, industry, science and civil society - to develop joint strategies and exchange best practices.
Economic efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand in mining. Responsible extraction and processing of raw materials in accordance with the highest environmental, social and governance standards strengthens security of supply and makes a significant contribution to climate protection. The MiningForum shows how collaboration, modern technologies and future-orientated concepts can make mining competitive, resilient and sustainable.
Close cooperation between industry, science and politics is crucial for the future of raw materials supply. The exclusive partnership between DMT as organiser of the MiningForum and the Institute for Advanced Mining Technologies at RWTH Aachen University is an example of how industrial pragmatism, technological innovation and applied research can make a contribution to a secure and sustainable supply of raw materials.
Focus on the entire value chain
With over 50 specialist presentations, interactive panels, high-calibre speakers and a broad-based trade exhibition, MiningForum 2026 offers a 360° view of topics along the entire value chain in the raw materials sector. We look forward to welcoming you to the Estrel Hotel in Berlin on 18 and 19 June 2026 and shaping the future of raw materials supply together.
