Future Minerals Forum 2025 | King Abdulaziz International Conference Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The world’s must-go-to forum for shaping the future of minerals

The Future Minerals Forum (FMF) is the world's premier platform for minerals.

The Future Minerals Forum is an international initiative convened by Saudi Arabia and dedicated to advancing minerals & unlocking opportunities.

FMF stands at the forefront of global industry connections, bringing together governments, international organizations, and stakeholders to collectively shape the future of minerals. With 14,000 participants from 178 countries, including 75 government representatives, FMF serves as a catalyst for global collaboration.

Once again in 2025, a world-class array of speakers will deliver a programme of insightful Keynote Addresses and Fireside Chats, taking part in Panel Discussions with experts from right across the mining value chain.

The Future Minerals Forum 2025 will provide more opportunities than ever before to hear from a host of eminent and illustrious names. These will represent the metals and minerals industry as well as contributors from the governmental, investment, multilateral and NGO sectors.

They will discuss the importance of minerals and metals to solving some of the planet’s biggestchallenges. They will also analyse the great opportunities the super region represents as a largely untapped source of critical minerals and reflect, frankly and genuinely, the issues that the minerals industry needs to address to succeed – predominantly sustainability and how to maximize the contribution minerals can make to society.
