DRC-AFRICA BATTERY METALS FORUM WAS A MASSIVE SUCCESS!

 

Referring to a quote by His Excellency, the Minister of Industry, HE. Julien Paluku, “The forum transcends the boundaries of sectoral interests, converging government bodies, mining corporations, key stakeholders, technology providers, and end-users in a collaborative endeavor to shape the trajectory of a nascent industry within the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC),”

 

It is truly remarkable that the DRC- Africa Battery Metals Forum gathering for this year has concluded, and the outcomes have exceeded our highest expectations.

DRIVING SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ENERGY TRANSITION - IN THE DRC!

The DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum is the prime engagement platform for cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel, graphite, manganese, rare earths and 3 T producers, battery manufacturers, traders, investors, and NGOs in Africa. The forum is the meeting place for government, mining companies, key stakeholders, technology providers and end-users to facilitate dialogue in defining and building a new industry in the DRC.  

Driven by the demand for batteries and electric vehicles, in a transparent and open environment, DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum  is committed to positioning the country as the African hub for battery metals production and manufacture. It will contribute to building an inclusive and equitable battery metals industry in the heart of Africa, underpinning broad-based sustainable growth, local beneficiation and socio-economic development.
