Leadership Roundtables

Explore how investors, policymakers and industry stakeholders can identify opportunities, de-risk investment and position Ukraine's mining sector for resilient, long-term recovery.

Discussion Points:

• Understand the investment frameworks and risk mitigation approaches that can support capital deployment into Ukraine's mining sector and future reconstruction priorities.
• Gain insight into opportunities to integrate Ukrainian mineral supply into European and transatlantic value chains supporting defence, energy and advanced manufacturing.
• Identify practical approaches to prioritising infrastructure, processing and technology investment that can strengthen Ukraine's mining sector and support sustainable economic recovery.

The agenda is under development but topics in line for discussion include exploring how capital, industrial capability and allied partnerships can be better aligned to accelerate strategically important mineral supply chains

Discussion Points:

• Identify where investment, infrastructure and policy coordination can deliver the greatest strategic value across mining, processing and manufacturing value chains.
• Gain access to perspectives on financing, de-risking and scaling priority projects through public and private capital, partnerships and market mechanisms.
• Leave better equipped to assess where your organisation can strengthen allied supply chains and accelerate critical mineral capability.

Explore how industry, governments and capital providers can strengthen rare earth processing and magnet supply chains to support long-term strategic capability.

Discussion Points:

• Understand where the most significant gaps remain across rare earth separation, metallisation, magnet manufacturing and the wider downstream supply chain.
• Gain insight into the investment, technology and regulatory changes required to accelerate commercially viable processing and manufacturing capacity outside concentrated supply networks.
• Identify practical approaches to aligning government support, industry investment and regulatory reform to build more resilient rare earth supply chains for strategic applications.

Explore how technology, regulation and investment can align to establish practical pathways for responsible deep-sea mineral development and supply.

Discussion Points:

• Understand the operational, environmental and regulatory criteria required to build a credible and responsible deep-sea mineral value chain.
• Gain insight into emerging technologies, traceability systems and ESG frameworks that can support lower-impact extraction and strengthen market confidence.
• Identify practical approaches to aligning environmental safeguards, regulatory milestones and investment requirements to support responsible project development and financing.

Explore how stronger structural understanding can reduce uncertainty, improve decision-making and create a faster, more capital-efficient pathway from discovery to bankable development.

Discussion Points:

• Understand where structural data gaps create friction across exploration, resource conversion, investment decisions and project development, slowing progress and increasing capital requirements.
• Gain insight into how high-resolution structural confidence can strengthen subsurface models, improve stakeholder alignment and reduce reliance on repetitive infill drilling.
• Identify practical approaches to building structural understanding earlier, enabling faster resource conversion, stronger investment cases and more efficient progression towards production.

Facilitated by Fleetspace

Explore how coordinated infrastructure, investment and policy can connect African mineral resources with processing capacity, regional markets and new opportunities for value creation.

Discussion Points:

• Understand how multi-modal infrastructure corridors can connect mining regions, processing hubs and ports to strengthen intra-African mineral value chains.
• Gain insight into the policy alignment, public-private partnerships and financing models required to de-risk cross-border infrastructure and industrial development.
• Identify practical approaches to linking resource development, transport and processing investment to retain greater mineral value within African economies.

Explore how governments, industry, buyers and investors can turn shared mineral ambitions into investable projects, stronger markets and more resilient supply chains.

Discussion Points:

• Understand where transatlantic priorities are converging and how deeper public-private collaboration can translate policy alignment into commercially viable mineral projects.
• Gain insight into the policy, financing and demand signals that can strengthen project investment, improve value chain integration and support long-term market development.
• Identify practical approaches to building partnerships, improving market transparency and creating more competitive, resilient critical mineral markets across jurisdictions.

Explore how governments, industry, investors and downstream partners can align responsible sourcing with supply chain resilience and develop strategies that deliver both.

Discussion Points:

• Understand where responsible sourcing and supply chain resilience reinforce each other, and where potential trade-offs require clearer alignment and decision-making.
• Gain insight into how governments, mining companies, downstream businesses and investors can establish shared expectations across responsible and resilient supply chains.
• Identify practical approaches to balancing security, sustainability and commercial priorities when developing more responsible and resilient mineral supply chains.

Discover how miners, investors and value chain partners can strengthen trust, align responsibility with commercial resilience, and build more durable investment relationships.

Discussion Points:

• Identify practical approaches for building investor confidence through stronger accountability, responsible operations and trusted relationships across the mining value chain.
• Gain access to cross-sector perspectives on how responsibility and trust can support more resilient capital allocation and long-term supply security.
• Leave better equipped to position trust as a commercial advantage when engaging investors, communities and partners on future mining projects

Explore how transparency, traceability and supply chain strategies can strengthen battery supply resilience while helping organisations respond to regulatory and geopolitical disruption.

• Identify practical approaches for improving supply chain visibility, strengthening compliance and reducing exposure to disruption across complex battery material networks.
• Gain access to cross-sector perspectives on using traceability and data sharing to verify suppliers, manage risk and support resilient operations.
• Leave better equipped to balance transparency, operational security and flexibility when responding to supply disruptions and changing regulatory requirements.
