CREATING WEALTH FOR THE DRC AND AFRICA'S BATTERY METALS INDUSTRY VALUE CHAIN

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.

2023 FORUM PROGRAM
The conference programme focuses on building a new industry in the DRC and Africa at large. With a focus on beneficiation, localisation, ESGs, investor incentives, free trade zones, DRC-Africa Battery Metals is a must attend event for anyone who wants to be part of an industry that will drive the global energy transition agenda.
