Paris, France<\/b> \u2013 Africa stands at a pivotal moment in its mining journey. With global demand for minerals surging, supply chains evolving, and the energy transition accelerating, the continent is no longer simply a source of raw materials \u2014 it is a strategic partner shaping the future of global industry. Against this backdrop, <\/span>Mining On Top Africa (MOTA) 2026<\/b> returns to Paris on <\/span>7\u20138 July 2026<\/b>, under the theme <\/span>\u201cSecuring Africa\u2019s Mining Future: Sovereignty, Sustainability and Global Partnerships.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

The event will bring together African governments, mining leaders, investors, financiers, and other industry stakeholders to explore how Africa can translate its rich mineral endowment into long-term economic growth, resilient industries, and trusted global supply chains. Over two days, MOTA 2026 will provide a platform to examine not just extraction, but the full spectrum of value creation \u2014 from infrastructure and energy systems to beneficiation, downstream processing, and workforce development.<\/span><\/p>\n

New for 2026, the programme introduces <\/span>Commodity Focus Sessions<\/b>, offering in-depth insights into the minerals shaping Africa\u2019s economic and industrial future. Critical minerals powering decarbonisation, copper driving electrification, gold supporting financial stability, uranium underpinning energy security, and platinum group metals enabling hydrogen and green technologies will all be explored. These sessions will combine market trends with real project updates, providing investors and partners with practical insights on where opportunities are emerging and how to navigate evolving global supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n

High-level government participation is a hallmark of MOTA 2026. Ministerial roundtables and <\/span>Fireside Chats<\/b> will provide rare, candid perspectives from national leaders. These conversations will examine how strategic policy frameworks, infrastructure planning, and investment facilitation can unlock national potential, attract long-term capital, and foster industrialisation that benefits communities and national economies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mining does not operate in isolation, and MOTA 2026 highlights the ecosystems that enable success. Integrated infrastructure, renewable and hybrid energy solutions, and innovative financing approaches will be showcased as critical enablers of mining growth. Delegates will hear how projects are moving from discovery to delivery, learn about emerging pipelines, and understand the partnerships required to translate opportunity into tangible, sustainable outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond structured sessions, MOTA 2026 is a relationship-driven platform designed to catalyse investment and collaboration. Executive networking receptions and investor-project matchmaking, will provide direct access to decision-makers shaping Africa\u2019s mining future. Delegates will leave with insights, connections, and a deeper understanding of how Africa\u2019s mineral wealth can deliver inclusive, long-term economic transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Africa asserts itself as a global mining partner, MOTA 2026 offers the chance to see the continent\u2019s strategy, innovation, and ambition firsthand. Registration and partnership opportunities will open shortly, inviting governments, investors, and industry leaders to join the conversation shaping the next era of African mining.<\/span><\/p>\n
