ACM2026 will bring together industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and technology providers from across the globe to explore the future of copper, cobalt and Tin—key drivers of the global energy transition. With Zambia home to some of the world’s most significant copper and cobalt resources, and with Africa holding crucial tin reserves—particularly in the Central African Tin Belt spanning the DRC and Rwanda—this summit offers a unique platform to discuss cutting-edge mining technologies, sustainable practices, investment opportunities, and supply chain strategies. Attendees will engage in high-level dialogues on topics ranging from ESG compliance and renewable energy integration to logistics optimization and community-driven development.
