What is the Critical Minerals Summit?

A focused, one-day summit about the practical challenges and commercial opportunities involved in delivering critical minerals projects. It brings together mining companies, project developers, policymakers, and engineering, equipment and logistics partners.

When and where is the summit?

The summit takes place on 10 May 2027 at Rotterdam Ahoy, alongside Breakbulk Europe.

Why is the summit taking place now?

The EU Critical Raw Materials Act sets 2030 benchmarks for European extraction, processing and recycling capacity, while Europe is also working to diversify international supply. Achieving these ambitions will require equipment, infrastructure and reliable routes to market.

Critical Minerals Summit

Bridging the logistics gap to power Europe’s critical minerals future

10 May 2027 | Rotterdam Ahoy | Alongside Breakbulk Europe

Europe’s critical minerals ambitions depend on physical delivery: moving equipment, building infrastructure and connecting mines, processing facilities and ports with international markets. Connecting the organisations developing critical minerals projects with the partners needed to deliver them has never been more important.

The Critical Minerals Summit brings together major mining companies, project developers, policymakers and the engineering, equipment and logistics partners needed to turn these ambitions into operational projects.

This focused, half-day summit is designed to uncover opportunities, address delivery challenges and build relationships across the critical minerals supply chain.

Who will attend?

The summit will bring together a focused audience from across the critical minerals supply chain, with an emphasis on decision-makers responsible for project development, procurement, engineering, logistics and commercial partnerships.
